APPENDIX IV PRINCIPLES FOR ESTABLISHING THE SAFEGUARDS AND · CONTROL SYSTEM UNDER THE EURATOM AGREEMENT The principles which will govern the establishment and operation of the safeguards and control system are as follows: The EURATOM Commission will: 1.

It is the understanding of the Parties that the above principles applicable to the establishment of the Community's inspection and control system are compatible with and are based on Article XII of the Statute of the International Atomic Energy Agency,['] Chapter VII of Title Two of the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, and those adopted by the Government of the United States of America in its comprehensive Agreements for Cooperation. |
