Statement by the German Commission on Radiological Protection
Adopted at the 257th meeting on 05/06 July 2012
Abstract
The proposal issued by the European Commission on 29.09.2011 with regard to the Council’s new directive concerning the predefinition of basic safety standards for protection against the hazards presented by exposure to ionising radiation (Euratom basic standards) features regulations on environmental protection in Chapter IX which specifically refer to non-human species.
The BMU requested the SSK produce a statement, based on current knowledge, concerning the feasibility of the European Commission’s proposals as featured in Chapter IX of the new Euratom basic standards for the protection of non-human species.
