According to the information available, the number of radioactive sources currently in circulation in the European Union exceeds 100 000. This figure demonstrates the limitations of the systems set up in the Member States to detect and eliminate these sources which, for various reasons, slip through the monitoring measures that have been put in place. These ‘orphan’ sources may also be discovered by individuals who are unaware of the risks that they entail.
The Commission proposal, therefore, constitutes a justifiable Community initiative, which responds to two main objectives by creating a system of traceability:
to prevent exposure to ionising radiation resulting from the inadequate monitoring of high activity sealed radioactive sources;
to ensure that the safety of sources is monitored, in order to prevent, as far as possible, all malicious use.
I therefore voted in favour of a text on which political agreement has been reached in Council, and this will enable us to ensure the safe and effective monitoring of high activity sealed sources in the European Union."@en1
