APPLICATION OF SAFEGUARDS 
Article 2 
The Agency shall have the right and the obligation to ensure that 
safeguards will be applied, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, on

Agreement, in such a manner as to enable it to verify, in ascertaining 
that there has been no diversion of such nuclear material from peaceful 
uses to nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, findings of 
the Community's system of safeguards. The A£ency's verification shall

PART II 
INTRODUCTION 
Article 25 
The purpose of this part of the Agreement is to specify the procedures to 
be applied in the implementation of the safeguards provisions of Part I. 
OBJECTIVE OF SAFEGUARDS 
Article 26 
The objective of the safeguards procedures set forth in this Agreement is 
the timely detection of diversion of significant quantities of nuclear 
material from peaceful nuclear activities to the manufacture of nuclear 
weapons or of other nuclear explosive devices or for purposes unknown, and 
deterrence of such diversion by the risk of early detection.

Designation of Agency inspectors 
Article 83 
The following procedures shall apply to the designation of Agency 
inspectors:

General provisions 
Nuclear material suhject or required to He suhject to safeguards under 
this Agreement vhich is transferred into or out of the United Kingdom 
Protocol I territories shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be regarded as 
being the responsibility of the Community and of the United Kingdom:
