????????



Sweden is a member of the European Union. The maximum permissible dose

(rate) is 1 mSv/a for member of the publics and this had to be implemented

into national law. Sweden has implemented it. If a member state would like

to set different limits (not only regarding doses!), it has to provide the

European Commission with an explanation of the reason, why it wants to do

that. It is not thinkable, that the Commission and the other states would

accept a dose limit of 0.01 mSv per year. Moreover I would like to know, how

this could be controlled - with backgrounds of at least 1 mSv/a!
