DieKommission istderAuffassung ,daßdieVorschriften über dieVer­

Verfahren
DasVerfahren fürdenAbschluss dieser Durchführungsabkommen
richtet sich danach ,obdas betreffende FuE-Programm unter den
Euratom-Vertrag oder denEWG-Vertrag fällt .

Was dasDurchführungsabkommen über die Wassej-stof ferzeugung
(Direktaktion )betrifft ,sostützen sich diebeiden Beschlussent -

dieanderen Beteiligten ,d«h .Ende Januar 1977 unterzeichnen kann .
IstderRatderAuffassung ,dass derWortlaut desDurchführungs -
abkommens über dieWasserstof ferzeugung annehmbar ist ,dann schlägt
dieKommmission angesichts derDringlichkeit derSache vor ,dass
derRatgleichzeitig auch denBeschluss zurErteilung vonRicht­

ImGegensatz zudenBestimmungen imEuratom -Vertrag ,dessen
Artikel 101 sowohl für Verträge als auch für internationale Abkom­

oder Angehörigen dritter Staaten keine Mitwirkung desRates vor .
Eine Mitwirkung des Rates istnur bei internationalen Abkommen er­
forderlich . ''
