The committee adopted the report by Françoise GROSSETÊTE (EPP-ED, F) broadly approving the proposal under the consultation procedure, subject to a few amendments: - for the sake of clarity, the threshold of 1 mSv/h should be inserted in the articles since it appears in the explanatory memorandum and the annex; - there is a need to highlight the supplier's responsibility, as the technical expert, in the life cycle of the various sources which he makes available; - it should be made compulsory to monitor potential cross-border movements of these sources both within the EU and to non-EU countries; - as far as possible, there should be a system of harmonised penalties for infringements. �
