As the 40th anniversary of Rock am Ring comes to an exhilarating close, the Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation at music festivals. Despite the thunderous music of KoRn, Falling in Reverse, and Brutalismus 3000, one can imagine the potential entertainment value of a day at the festival, perhaps featuring a radioactive guitarist or a drum solo performed in a hazmat suit.
