Division 4 Coordination

The Commission should coordinate its cooperation with third countries with organisations pursuing similar objectives, in particular international organisations, including in particular the IAEA. That coordination should enable the Community and the organisations concerned to avoid any duplication of actions and funding in relation to third countries. The Commission should also involve the competent authorities of Member States and European operators in the fulfilment of its task, thereby harnessing the quality of European expertise in the field of nuclear safety and safeguards.

The Commission shall ensure that there is no duplication between the cooperation in the field of safeguards, through the measures which may be undertaken in accordance with Article 3(3) of this Regulation, and cooperation which may take place in the fields of security and non-proliferation under the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace.
