On 31 May 1986, the European Economic Community

(EEC) enacted regulations stipulating the levels of

radiation permitted in certain foods. These levels have

been adopted as the standards in the monitoring of imported

granted for the importation of food from Eastern bloc

countries, certificates are required to the effect that the

level of radiation of each consignment complies with that

set out by the EEC countries.
