DeImplementing Agreements ,somerafsluttet iIEA' sregie ,erimidlertid
ikke internationale aftaler ihenhold til artikel 228 iEØF-traktaten .
Fordetførste kanoffentlige eller endog private organer ,somikke er

ikke ,menderimod denationale retssystemer påsamme måde somvedind­

Gennemgangen afde"Guiding Principles ",someropstillet afIEA's
styrelsesudvalg ,ogBoragælder forudarbejdelse oggennemførelse af

Pågrund afdisse Implementing Agreements' kontraktmæssige natur er
Kommissionen derfor beføjet tilatindgå disse ihenhold tildenkompetence ,
