Mobile masts: Companies ‘should pay for radiation tests’

The Economic Development Minister has asked the JCRA to look into setting up a group to assess the levels of radiation from the Island’s base stations following recommendations in a Scrutiny report. Senator Philip Ozouf has accepted that more openness is needed between the public, the States and mobile phone companies about where masts are situated in the Island. ‘I fully support the introduction of emission monitoring and that it should be independent and paid for by telephone operators,’ Senator Ozouf said.
