ARTICLE 4 THE COMMISSION SHALL IMPLEMENT THE PROGRAMME AND SHALL BE ASSISTED BY THE MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE ( CGC ) ( RADIATION PROTECTION ) CREATED BY DECISION 84/338/EURATOM , ECSC , EEC ( 3 ) . DONE AT BRUSSELS , 12 MARCH 1985 . FOR THE COUNCIL THE PRESIDENT F . M . PANDOLFI ANNEX RADIATION PROTECTION PROGRAMME ( 1985 TO 1989 ) 1 . THE OBJECTIVE OF THE PROGRAMME IS TO IMPROVE THE CONDITIONS OF LIFE WITH RESPECT TO SAFETY OF WORK AND PROTECTION OF MAN AND HIS ENVIRONMENT AND TO ASSURE A SAFE PRODUCTION OF ENERGY FROM ATOMIC FISSION AND , LATER , FUSION . IT ENDEAVOURS , THROUGH A COOPERATIVE EUROPEAN EFFORT .

• TO SCREEN AND ASSESS PROBLEMS RELATED TO RADIATION PROTECTION AND TO STUDY SUCH PROBLEMS BY SCIENTIFIC MEANS ,
• TO IMPROVE METHODS NECESSARY TO PROTECT WORKERS AND THE POPULATION BY UPDATING THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS FOR APPROPRIATE STANDARDS AND BY FURTHER DEVELOPING TECHNIQUES TO PREVENT AND COUNTERACT HARMFUL EFFECTS OF RADIATION ,
• TO PROVIDE METHODS TO COPE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF RADIATION ACCIDENTS ,
• TO ASSES RADIATION RISKS AND SET THEM IN PERSPECTIVE TO OTHER RISKS ARISING IN MODERN SOCIETY ,
• TO PROVIDE PERTINENT AND UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION FOR DECISION-MAKING . 2 . THE PROGRAMME WILL COVER RESEARCH ON :
• RADIATION DOSIMETRY AND ITS INTERPRETATION ,
• BEHAVIOUR AND CONTROL OF RADIONUCLIDES IN THE ENVIRONMENT ,
• NON-STOCHASTIC EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION ,
• RADIATION CARCINOGENESIS ,
• GENETIC EFFECTS OF IONIZING RADIATION ,
• EVALUATION OF RADIATION RISKS AND OPTIMIZATION OF PROTECTION . THE PROGRAMME WILL BE CARRIED OUT PRINCIPALLY BY RESEARCH CONTRACTS AND , TO A SMALL DEGREE , BY THE COMMISSION'S BIOLOGY GROUP AT THE ISPRA ESTABLISHMENT . THE COMMISSION WILL SUPPORT THE MOBILITY OF RESEARCH WORKERS IN ORDER TO ALLOW CONTRACTING LABORATORIES AN OPTIMAL EXECUTION OF RESEARCH WORK .
