Omni Directional Departures

Ladies and Gents,

In parts of the EU (eg France), airfields publish 'omnidirectional departures' as well as SIDs; an omnidirection departure is basically a turn after 500ft agl, direct to a waypoint or beacon. What separation criteria should ATC apply to an commercial aircraft departing on an IFR flight plan? Or is it that the separtion critera dependent on the class of airspace that makes up the ATZ?

Thanks
