I've been searching for any european standard that stablishes the required distance between overhead power line and hazardous (ATEX) area but I couldn`t find anything. In my case I have a 66 kV line over an outdoor propane/butane bottles storagement rack in Spain.

I'd appreciate any help.

You might look in the standards associated with the propane installation rather than the electrical standards. For instance NFPA 58 in the USA says that a LPG container cannot be located within 6' of the vertical plane beneath overhead electric power lines that are over 600V.
