I paid a (private) visit to CIEMAT in Madrid about a month ago and it was

confirmed to me, that it has not yet been possible to officially and legally

all but "clear" and sure not uniform throughout the European Union. A great

chance for harmonisation in this very important field has been missed, as

well as for legislation on natural radioactivity.
