Convenio sobre la protección contra las radiaciones, 1960 (núm. 115) - Países Bajos (Ratificación : 1966)

The Committee takes note of the comments provided by the Trade Union Confederation of Middle Categories and Senior Staff Unions (MHP) on the application of this Convention stating that the Committee, in its previous comments, was not in a position to determine precisely whether indeed effect is given to the provisions of the Convention. The MHP indicates that this is due to the fact that the text of the Radiation Protection Decree, to which the Government had referred, was not annexed to the Government’s report. The Committee, taking note of the observation of the MHP, notes that, at the time of its previous comments, the Radiation Protection Decree was not yet adopted. It however notes from the Government’s report that this Decree has been adopted on 16 July 2001, and came into force on 1 March 2002, as amended, to transpose the Basic Safety Directive 96/29/Euratom of 1996 and the Medical Radiation Treatment Directive 97/43/Euratom into national legislation, which reflect the 1990 Recommendations of the International Commission on Radiation Protection (ICRP) to which the Committee refers in determining the extent to which national legislations give effect to the provisions of this Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to supply a copy of the Radiation Protection Decree of 2001, as amended, for in-depth examination.
