‘I. |
|
II.
Paragraph I of Protocol 2 to the Safeguards Agreement is replaced by the following:
‘I. |
At such time as the Community notifies the Agency in accordance with Section 1(C) of Protocol 1 of this Agreement that there is nuclear material in peaceful nuclear activities in United Kingdom Protocol I territories in quantities that exceed the limits referred to in Section 1(A)(1) of Protocol 1 of this Agreement or that the decision has been taken to construct or authorize construction of a facility, as defined in the Definitions, in United Kingdom Protocol I territories, as referred to in Section 1(A)(2) of Protocol 1 of this Agreement, whichever occurs first, a Protocol for procedures for cooperation in the application of the safeguards provided for under the Agreement shall be agreed upon between the United Kingdom, the Community and the Agency. Such procedures will amplify certain provisions of the Agreement and, in particular, specify the conditions and means according to which the cooperation referred to above shall be implemented in such a way as to avoid unnecessary duplication of safeguards activities. The procedures shall be, to the extent practicable, based upon those then in force under Protocols to, and the subsidiary arrangements of, other safeguards agreements between Member States of the Community, the Community and the Agency, including the related special understandings agreed upon by the Community and the Agency.’. |
