This document summarises the findings of a project commissioned by DG Environment of the European Commission. The project's primary objective was to provide information for Article 31 experts and EU Member States on the application of the concepts of exemption and clearance for practices according to Title III of Council Directive 96/29/EURATOM of 13 May 1996. For this purpose information on legal instruments and application of exemption and clearance in all EU Member States was collated and then evaluated in order to identify particular measures that could be considered to improve the effectiveness of the existing provisions on Exemption and Clearance in the Member States. It was found that most Member States in the EU have introduced new legislation to address the Directive within the past 2-3 years. Exemption has been implemented by the majority of Member States in a way consistent with Title III of the Directive. The application of clearance in some Member States has encountered practical difficulties and the area of greatest variation relates to the setting of clearance levels. There is a need to encourage harmonisation of clearance levels especially for particular materials, such as metals, designated for recycling and hence subject to international trade.
