- Origin
- (see Doc. Doc. 712, Report of the Political Committee). This Resolution was adopted by the Assembly at its 28th Sitting, on 29th October 1957
The Assembly,
1. Congratulates the Governments and the Parliaments of the Six on the ratification of the Treaty setting up the European Atomic Energy Community ;
2. Repeats its invitation to other Member States of the Council of Europe to assocciate themselves with the work of the six members of Euratom, as provided for in Article 206 of the Treaty ;
3. Emphasises again the need for close collaboration between Euratom and O.E.E.C. in setting up joint undertakings so as to avoid duplication of work and waste of resources ;
4. Requests the Interim Committee of Euratom and the Council of Ministers of the O.E.E.C. to consider whether it would be desirable that security control on the territory of the Six be entrusted to the organs of Euratom and also, in view of the analogy between the control systems of the O.E.E.C., the International Atomic Energy Agency and that of the United States, whether the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United States (for materials which are the subject of bilateral agreements between European States and the United States) should entrust security control in the territory of the Six to the organs of Euratom, such control being exercised in the other O.E.E.C. countries by the European Nuclear Energy Agency ;
5. Invites the Interim Committee of Euratom and the O.E.E.C. Steering Committee for Nuclear Energy to ensure as soon as possible a joint control service for the protection of the health of workers in the nuclear sector and the population generally, and to consider whether this control should be exercised by Euratom in the territory of the Six, and by the O.E.E.C. European Nuclear Energy Agency in the other member countries of O.E.E.C.
