Abstract

This Regulation shall apply to shipments between Member States of sealed sources and other relevant sources, whenever the quantities and concentrations exceed the levels laid down in article 4 (a) and (b) of Directive 80/836/Euratom. It shall also apply to shipments of radioactive waste between Member States as covered by Directive 92/3/Euratom. As regards nuclear materials, each Member State carries out all necessary controls, within its own territory, in order to ensure that each consignee of such materials, which are the subject of a shipment from another Member State, complies with the national provisions implementing article 3 of Directive 80/836/Euratom. In accordance with article 3, controls of shipments of sealed sources, other relevant sources and radioactive waste between Member States for the purpose of radiation protection shall be performed as part of the control procedures applied in a non-discriminatory manner throughout the territory of the Member State. The following two Annexes, containing the specimens of the declarations to be presented by holders of the sources hereby envisaged, are attached: (I) Shipment of sealed sources between the Member States of the European Community; (II) Shipment of radioactive waste between the Member States of the European Community.
