Proposal for guidelines 2013 59 Euratom

Proposal for guidelines for the transposition and implementation of the provisions of Directive 2013/59/Euratom on EP&R

Final report - Study 2018

This report presents a survey on the strategies and plans of 10 selected EU member states (MS) for the transposition and implementation of the EP&R provisions of the BSS Directive. With a view to supporting more coherent approaches to the implementation of the BSS Directive, it presents results of a survey to identify the main emergency preparedness and response topics of the Directive for which further guidelines appear to be mostly welcomed by the MS.

This report analyses also the international standards and guidance (IAEA, ICRP) to assess to what extent they could fulfil the needs for the transposition and the implementation of the provisions related to the EP&R provisions of the BSS Directive.

The European Atomic Energy Community has established in the Council Directive 2013/59/Euratom laying down basic safety standards for protection against the dangers arising from exposure to ionising radiation (BSS) an advanced set of safety standards to protect workers, members of the public and patients. It entered into force on 6 February 2014 and is to be transposed into Member States’ (MS) national legislation by 6 February 2018.

In December 2015, the Council of the European Union adopted a set of Council Conclusions pertaining to off-site emergency preparedness and response (EP&R) serving to highlight the importance of EP&R to policymakers, decision-makers and the public in the EU.

The Council Conclusions emphasize measures to improve coordination and to better align EP&R arrangements among MS, especially in cases where an accident may affect neighbouring countries.

The European Commission is invited to organise workshops to facilitate the consistent transposition and implementation of the BSS Directive, aiming at developing a coherent approach to EP&R provisions of the Directive, including discussion of:
