Radiology goods: EU pressure on waste disposal deadlines
This article was originally published in Clinica
Executive Summary
Medical radiology equipment could be impacted earlier than expected by EU waste plans if the European Parliament achieves its aim of forcing member state governments to produce detailed, long-term plans by 2007 on how they intend to tackle the disposal of radioactive waste. MEPs who, under the 1957 Euratom Treaty, can only be consulted on proposals in a single-reading procedure, are particularly anxious to tighten up EU rules because the EU accession states are reported to have a record of inadequate disposal as well as nuclear power stations that were built to old Soviet designs.
