We present a study of 30 type II bursts recorded by ARTEMIS-IV radiospectrograph in the 100-650 MHz range during the recent solar maximum; these are accompanied by SXR flares and, mostly, by SOHO/LASCO CMEs. Our analysis covers the relationship between type II and CME and flares characteristics. It appears that certain morphological commonalities of the radio events correspond to similarities in the shock generation mechanism as described by existing models.
