§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the President of the Board of Trade which of the facilities operated by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority have had sanctions 557W imposed for infringement of article 83 of the Euratom treaty since 1988; if he will specify the infringements that occurred; and what has been done in each case to rectify the situation.
§ Mr. EggarSanctions have been imposed on the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority under article 83 of the Euratom Treaty on only one occasion. That was at the least severe level—a "warning"—on 4 March 1992 concerning a facility at Dounreay. I refer the hon. Member to the European Communities Commission decision C(92) 476 final—OJ L88 of 3 April 1992—a copy of which is available in the Library of the House. To rectify the situation, modifications were made to the plant and to management procedures, and improvements were made to the accounting and records systems.
