Austria
26-08-1997
Objection to the reservation of Pakistan received on 9 April 1999:
Austria has examined the reservation made by Ukraine when ratifying the Convention
on Nuclear
Safety. From Austria's viewpoint, this reservation jeopardizes object and purpose
of the Convention.
Austria is of the opinion that the applicability of the Convention between Austria
and Ukraine remains
unaffected.
Denmark
13-11-1998
Until further notice the Convention shall not apply to Greenland and the Faroe Islands.
26-09-2016
Denmark […] also accepted the Convention for Greenland.
EURATOM (European Atomic Energy Community)
12-05-2004
Declaration by the European Atomic Energy Community pursuant to Article 30(4)(iii)
of the Nuclear Safety Convention.
The following States are at present members of the European Atomic Energy Community:
the Kingdom of Belgium, the Czech Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic
of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain,
the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic
of Latrvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta,
the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Republic of Austria,
the Republic of Poland. The Portuguese Republic, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak
Republic, the Republic of Finland, the Kingdom of Sweden, the United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern Ireland.
The Community declares that Articles 1 to 5, Article 7 and Articles 14 to 35 of the
Convention applies to it.
The Community possesses competences, shared with the abovementioned Member States,
in the field covered by Article 7 and Articles 14 to 19 of the Convention as provided
for by the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community in article 2(b)
and the relevant Articles of title II, Chapter 3, entitled "Health and Safety".
India
20-09-1994
India continues to believe that a Convention on Nuclear Safety should cover all nuclear power plants, civil and military. We note, however, that the present convention covers only civilian nuclear power plants. We hope that the safety aspects of nuclear power plants in the military domain would also be given attention, to achieve comprehensive nuclear safety worldwide.
Syria
18-09-2017
[…] The ratification of the Convention by the Syrian Arab Republic shall not imply
in any way whatsoever recognition of Israel, entry into direct or indirect relations
with it, or involvement with it in any activities governed by the provisions of the
Convention.
[…] The Syrian Arab Republic has reservations regarding implementation of the provisions
of Article 17.(iv) of the Convention relating to consultations in connection with
the siting of a nuclear installation on the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic.
Ukraine
08-04-1998
1. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine has taken the responsible decision to ratify the
Convention on Nuclear Safety, confirming its commitment to the principles of the nuclear
safety culture and ensuring their practical implementation, and trusting that the
world community and Member States of the IAEA realize the uniqueness of the "Shelter"
remaining in Ukraine as a result of the global consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe.
At present no technologies exist for transforming the "Shelter" into an ecologically
safe system, nor has the set of necessary measures been defined for achieving the
high level of nuclear safety or the facility in accordance with the requirements of
the Convention.
Under these circumstances, Ukraine is not able by itself to resolve this large-scale
problem in the shortest possible time and is counting on the assistance of the IAEA,
international organizations and individual States in tackling the scientific and technological
issues involved in ensuring the safety of the "Shelter", which will in turn help achieve
the objectives of the Convention on Nuclear Safety.
2. The provision of Article 3 of the Convention shall not apply to the "Shelter".
Objection Austria, 09-04-1999
Austria has examined the reservation made by Ukraine when ratifying the Convention on Nuclear Safety. From Austria's viewpoint, this reservation jeapardizes object and purpose of the Convention. Austria is of the opinion that the applicability of the Convention between Austria and Ukraine remains unaffected.
