a salient example of a decision making international administrative union. The

Statute of the IAEA of 1956 provides for several competencies to issue individual

approval regarding specific activities falling under the scope of Agency safeguards.

In particular, the Agency

approves

the design of specialized equipment and facilities,

including nuclear reactors, with respect to any Agency project, or other arrangement

where the Agency is requested by the parties concerned to apply safeguards.

Further, the Agency also

approves

the means to be used for the chemical processing

of irradiated materials solely to ensure that this chemical processing will not lend

itself to diversion of materials for military purposes and will comply with applicable

health and safety standards.

The Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy

Community of 1957 represents another example of an international organisation to

which vertical decision making powers were delegated. The Euratom Community

has power to issue approval with concluding specific contracts between a Member

The Agency shall have the following rights and responsibilities to the extent relevant to the project or

arrangement: To approve the means to be used for the chemical processing of irradiated materials solely to

ensure that this chemical processing will not lend itself to diversion of materials for military purposes and will

comply with applicable health and safety standards; to require that special fissionable materials recovered or

produced as a by-product be used for peaceful purposes under continuing Agency safeguards for research or

in reactors, existing or under construction, specified by the member or members concerned; and to require

deposit with the Agency of any excess of any special fissionable materials recovered or produced as a by-product

over what is needed for the above- stated uses in order to prevent stockpiling of these materials, provided that

thereafter at the request of the member or members concerned special fissionable materials so deposited with

the Agency shall be returned promptly to the member or members concerned for use under the same provisions

as stated above

(Art. XII A. 5.).

a third State, an international organisation or a national of a third State on the other, provides inter alia for

delivery of products which come within the province of the Agency, the prior consent of the Commission shall

be required for the conclusion or renewal of that agreement or contract, as far as delivery of the products is

concerned

(Art. 73).

If the carrying out of an inspection is opposed, the Commission shall apply to the President of the Court of

Justice of the European Union for an order to ensure that the inspection be carried out compulsorily. The

President of the Court of Justice of the European Union shall give a decision within three days. If there is

danger in delay, the Commission may itself issue a written order, in the form of a decision, to proceed with the
