UNDER ARTICLE 4 OF THE NEW REGULATION, MEMBER STATES HAVE TO TAKE STEPS TO ENSURE THAT IMPORTS COMPLY WITH THE TOLERANCE

LEVELS SET OUT IN ARTICLE 3. UK SAMPLING AND MONITORING

FACILITIES ARE ALREADY UNDER STRAIN. IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES WE ARGUED THAT IT WAS ONLY REASONABLE THAT THE BURDEN OF CHECKING

COMPLIANCE SHOULD BE SHARED BETWEEN THOSE EXPORTING COUNTRIES MOST AFFECTED AND IMPORTING STATES, RATHER THAN BEING LEFT TO THE IMPORTING STATE ALONE. WE THEREFORE SUCCESSFULLY PRESSED FOR EXPORT CERTIFICATES TO BE MENTIONED IN THE REGULATION AS ONE

METHOD OF CONTROL THAT MEMBER STATES COULD USE.

ON THE BASIS OF OUR OWN SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT OF CAESIUM

CONTAMINATION LEVELS, WE HAVE DECIDED TO ASK THE USSR, GDR, POLAND, ROMANIA, HUNGARY, YUGOSLAVIA, BULGARIA, CZECHOSLOVAKIA, SWEDEN AND AUSTRIA TO SUPPLY EXPORT CERTIFICATES FOR EXPORTS TO

THE UK OF THE FOLLOWING RANGE OF PRODUCTS:

BUT THIS HAS ONLY BEEN DONE IN GENERAL TERMS AND ON A RESPONSIVE BASIS. THE TEXT OF THE EXPORT CERTIFICATES WE REQUIRE IS GIVEN IN MIFT. IN YOUR CONTACTS WITH YOUR HOST
