WRITTEN QUESTION E-2171/98 by Hiltrud Breyer (V) to the Council (10 July 1998) Subject: Castor shipments in breach of EU law Can the Council say what action it will take following the violation by Member States of EU legislation on radiation protection, namely Council Directives 92/3/Euratom(1) of 3 February 1992 and 96/29/Euratom(2) of 13 May 1996, in the case of the Castor shipments? Reply (19 October 1998) Article 21 of Council Directive 92/3/Euratom on the supervision and control of shipments of radioactive waste between Member States and into and out of the Community(3) and Article 55 of Council Directive 96/29/Euratom laying down basic safety standards for the protection of the health of workers and the general public against the dangers arising from ionising radiation(4) stipulate that Member States are forthwith to inform the Commission of the laws, regulations and administrative provisions which they have adopted to comply with those Directives. It is therefore for the Commission to ensure that Member States comply with the provisions laid down in those Directives. (1) OJ L 35, 12.2.1992, p. 24. (2) OJ L 159, 29.6.1996, p. 1.
