4. Recalls, however, that the stress tests initiated by the Commission and ENSREG were limited in scope and were primarily intended to assess the robustness and preparedness of NPPs in the face of extremely severe external events; considers, therefore, that the stress tests were primarily aimed at assessing the robustness and preparedness of NPPs against such severe external events and were not and could not be intended to replace the detailed safety reviews of NPPs which are carried out under the national competence of the Member States for assessing the nuclear safety of NPPs; urges the Commission, therefore, to include the overall r ...[+++]obustness of NPPs (in particular with regard to possible cracks in pressure vessels) as a specific criterion in future stress tests;

13. Considers that there are different national approaches to assessing the effects of aircraft crashes on the safety of NPPs; notes that ‘aircraft crashes have not been considered explicitly as an initiating event in the safety assessments’, and that only their effects have been outlined in the stress test specifications; regrets, however, the fact that only four Member States have included such assessments in their stress test reports; notes, nonetheless, that the stress test specifications state that ’the assessment of consequences of loss of safety functions is relevant also if the situation is provoked by indirect initiating even ...[+++]ts for instance (...) airplane crash’; also notes that, given that this risk falls primarily within the area of Member States’ national security concerns and, therefore, sovereignty, an Ad Hoc Group on Nuclear Security (AHGNS) has been set up with the task of examining the issue in detail and publishing its conclusions; is aware that further exchanges between Member States are planned on that subject within appropriate forums such as the European Nuclear Security Regulators Association (ENSRA); asks all interested stakeholders, including Member States, the Commission, ENSREG, ENSRA and NPP operators, to work together in order to anticipate and agree a common approach to dealing with the risk of aircraft crashes, while recognising that this risk falls within the area of Member States’ national security concerns and sovereignty;

16. On 13 April 2005 the Commission circulated an EWRS message concerning an event related to a mistakenly distributed samples of live influenza virus A/H2N2 to carry out quality control tests (proficiency testing).

These relevant events (as it was for SARS during 2003) represented a significant test for the usefulness of the EWRS.

Their response, even in these early days of the existence of some of them, to the events of 11 September, will already provide a first test of this necessary coordination.
