COMUNICAZIONE DELLA COMMISSIONE ALCONSIGLIO
I.

1. Il21giugno 1976 ilConsiglio haadottato unadecisione rela­
tiva all'approvazione econclusione diunaccordo sotto forma di
scambio dilettere fra laComunità europea per l'Energia atomica e
laComunità Economica Europea ,daunlato ,el'Agenzia internazio­
nale per l'Energia (AIE),dall' altro ,relativo alla cooperazione
nelsettore della ricerca edello sviluppo inmateria dienergia .
Intale scambio dilettere edetto quanto segue :
"... laCEE elaCEEA hanno l'intenzione dicooperare con
l'AIE nel settore della ricerca edello sviluppo nella misura in
cui tale cooperazione contribuirà alla realizzazione degli obiet­
tivi diricerca edisviluppo delle Comunità europee nelsettore
dell' energia *
Tale cooperazione potrà realizzarsi mediante lapartecipa­
zione delle Comunità aprogrammi eprogetti diricerca edisviluppo
dell 'AIE .Inparticolare saranno negoziati ,caso per caso ,dalla Com­
missione delle Comunità Europee accordi diesecuzione inconformità
,delle disposizioni dei Trattati che istituiscono leComunità euro­
pee".
2. Inapplicazione ditale scambio dilettere laCEEA haaderito ,
alla data del 15luglio 1975 »a.dueaccordi diesecuzione conclusi
poco prima nelquadro dell 'AIE dadiversi Stati membri diquest' ul­
tima .Sitrattava di :
unaccordo diesecuzione sullo scambio diinformazioni
tecniche nelsettore della ricerca edello sviluppo sulla
sicurezza deireattori ;
-unaccordo diesecuzione suunprogramma diricerca esvi­
luppo per lacostruzione diuna sorgente intensa dineu­
troni .
3» IlConsiglio troverà inallegato iltesto diduenuovi "accordi
diesecuzione "("Implementing Agreementa ")proposti dall' AIEalla
firma della Comunità .Sitratta di :
a)unaccordo diesecuzione perunprogramma diricerca e
sviluppo sulla produzione dell' idrogeno apartire dal­
l'acqua (Allegato A);
b)unaccordo diesecuzione perunprogramma inteso asvilup­
pare easperimentare isistemi diriscaldamento ediraf­
freddamento solari (Allegato B)«

Tali accordi diesecuzione costituiscono degli accordi globa --
li("umbrella agreements ")iquali prevedono leregole secondo le
quali ,salvo eccezione daprecisare caso percaso ,saranno realizza­
tiuncerto numero di"azioni "diRleSdescritte inallegato acias­
cuno diessi *
All' atto della firma diunaccordo diesecuzione ogni parte
contraente deve confermare lasua intenzione dipartecipare aduna
opiùazioni proposte nelquadro ditale accordo (art .2,a)•
lf. LaCommissione ritiene chelaCEE elaCEEA cheperseguono
programmi diR&Srelativi alla produzione dell' idrogeno (*) eal­
l'uso dell' energia solare hanno interesse ,ciascuna per quanto le
riguarda ,apartecipare :
-alle azioni descritte agli Allegati IeIIdell' accordo
sulla produzione dell' idrogeno ,
-alle azioni descritte agli Allegati I,III ,IVeVdel­
l'accordo sull' energia solare .
Infatti ,per quanto riguarda leazioni IeIIdarealizzare
nel quadro dell' accordo diesecuzione sulla produzione diidrogeno ,
sitratta per ipartecipanti direalizzare inmaniera coordinata un
certo numero dilavori diricerca specifici connessi conlostudio
tecnico :
a)dicicli termochimici perlaproduzione diidrogeno a
partire dall' acqua e il
b)delcollegamento fratali cicli elafonte dicalore .
Ilconfronto fra ilavori americani ,giapponesi edeuropei
inmateria ,omogenei dalpunto divista del grado diavanzamento ,
non può' che essere favorevole . i

Ladefinizione incomune diobiettivi precisi ,lariparti­
zione deicompiti elamessa incomune deirisultati deve accelerare
ilprocesso diconferma della validità tecnico-economica ditali
processi per laproduzione dell' idrogeno .
Perquanto riguarda leazioni I,III ,IVeVdarealizzare
nel quadro dell 'accordo diesecuzione sull' energia solare ,lapreoc­
cupazione essenziale èquella della standardizzazione nelsettore
delriscaldamento edelraffreddamento solari ;ottenimento diinfor­
mazioni normalizzate direttamente confrontabili ,messa apunto di
metodi dicalcolo diriferimento ediprocessi dimisura ediprova
standardizzati .Lapartecipazione della Comunità atale sforzo è
essenziale :essa deve infatti apportare ilsuocontributo all'ela­
borazione dinorme suscala internazionale epuò' ,data lasua espe­
rienza nel settore ,svolgervi una funzione predominante .

Leconseguenze sulpiano delbilancio della partecipazione
atali azioni Bono precisate perciascuna diesse nell' allegato
relativo .Pernessuna delle azioni èprevisto ilfinapziamento di
unfondo comune .Ilprincipio ècheciascuna parte contraente auto­
finanzia lasuapartecipazione . t
Perquanto riguarda ledisposizioni inmateria d#diffusione
delle conoscenze ediproprietà industriale (art.7)1esse danno
àdito alle seguenti osservazioni t
Perquanto riguarda iprogrammi realizzati sedondo laformula
dell' azione diretta ,l'accettazione delle regole espòste negli arti­
coli 7ditali progetti diaccordo nonsolleva alcun problema giuri­
dico inquanto laComunità èlasola interessata .
•\
Perquanto riguarda iprogrammi realizzati secondo laformula
dell' azione indiretta ,occorre ricordare che idiritti della Comu­
nità inmateria sono limitati daquelli dei suoi contraenti .Il
regime attuale deinostri contratti t
-permette alla Commissione latrasmissione dèirapporti dei
contraenti adunoStato terzo oppure adun'organizzazione
internazionale ,dopo averne informato ilcontraente ese
quest' ultimo non visioppone affermando che isuoi inte­
ressi industriali ocommerciali sono lesi ;
-nonpermette alla Commissione 'didisporre delle invenzioni
del contraente ,salvo incasi eccezionali eafavore di
imprese con sede nella Comunità .
Ineffetti ,taluni contraenti interessati al- ,
l'accordo diesecuzione nel settore "produzione diidroge­
no",hanno giàdichiarato oralmente diessere pronti apartecipare ad
una cooperazione nel quadro dell' Agenzia .
L'articolo 7dell' accordo diesecuzione sulla produzione del­
l'idrogeno stabilisce unicamente lecondizioni degli scambi diin­
formazioni edella loro pubblicazione enonprevede scambi dibre­
vetti sulle invenzioni .
Perquanto riguarda l'accordo diesecuzione relativo ai"sis­
temi diriscaldamento ediraffreddamento con l'energia solare ",
sembra chelapartecipazione della Comunità alle quattro azioni che -
leinteressano riguarderebbe soltanto unpiccolo numero dicontraen­
tidella Commissione .L'accordo ditali contraenti sucerte conces­
sioni dilicenze dovrebbe poter essere ottenuto perogni "azione "
mediante opportune contropartite ,come laloro associazione effetti­
vaagli scambi *
LaCommissione ritiene che leclausole relative ali*diffu­
sione delle conoscenze edalla proprietà industriale inquesti due
accordi siano accettabili perlaComunità *

-If- XII/1165/76I
Procedura
Laprocedura daseguire perconcludere questi accordi diese­
cuzione èdiversa ,aseconda che ilprogramma diR&Singioco
entri nelcampo diapplicazione delTrattato Euratom o'del Trattato
CEE .
Perquanto riguarda l'accordo diesecuzione sulla produzione
dell' idrogeno (azione diretta ),idueprogetti didecisione chesi
trovano negli Allegati CeDsono basati sulla procedura dell' arti­
colo 101 ,2°capoverso ,delTrattato Euratom .Questa procedura è
giàstata applicata inprecedenza per farpartecipare 1'Euratom
agli accordi diesecuzione relativi alla sicurezza nucleare edalla
sorgente intensa dineutroni ,citati alprecedente paragrafo 2.Le
duedecisioni debbono permettere diimpegnare nella cooperazione
proposta con l'AIElaparte delprogramma S&Sdella Comunità che
èbasata sull' articolo 7delTrattato Euratom .Sitratta della par­
tedelprogramma della Comunità sulla produzione dell' idrogeno , .
realizzata mediante azione diretta .
E'auspicabile che laCommissione ,chehalafunzione di
"organizzazione pilota "noiprogramma diproduzione dell' idrogeno
dell 'AIE eche èstata proposta come "Operating Agent "peruna del­
ledue azioni che saranno condotte nell' ambito dell' accordo diese­
cuzione sull' idrogeno ,possa firmare questo accordo nello stesso
momento cheglialtri partecipanti ,cioè alla fine digennaio 1977 »
SeilConsiglio ritiene che iltesto dell' accordo diesecu­
zione sulla produzione dell' idrogeno siaaccettabile ,laCommissione
suggerisce che ,data l'urgenza ,ilConsiglio adotti contemporanea­
mente ladecisione che impartisce ladirettiva dinegoziare lapar­
tecipazione atale accordo ,eladecisione chenecomporta l'appro­
vazione .Questa formula ègiàstata utilizzata pergliaccordi di
esecuzione approvati dalConsiglio nella scorsa estate .
Perquanto riguarda l'accordo diesecuzione relativo all'ener­
giasolare equello relativo alla produzione dell' idrogeno ,perla
parte diesso chesiricollega alle azioni indirette della CEE ,
basate sull' articolo 235CEE ,sidebbono applicare leprocedure del
Trattato CEE .
Adifferenza diquanto prevede ilTrattato Euratom ,ilcui
articolo 101 èapplicabile siaaicontratti che agili accordi inter­
nazionali ,laprocedura delTrattato CEEnonrichiede l'intervento
delConsiglio perlaconclusione deicontratti conStati terzi ,
organizzazioni internazionali ocittadini diStati terzi .L'inter­
vento delConsiglio èrichiesto solo pergliaccordi internazionali *
Ν
Ora ,gli accordi diesecuzione conclusi sotto l'egida del'
l'AIEnon sono accordi internazionali aisensi dell' articolo 228
CEE .Daunlato ,essi sono aperti alla partecipazione diorganismi
pubblici oanche privati ,chenonsono soggetti didiritto inter­
nazionale .D'altro lato ,essi nonsono regolati dalle norme del

-5- XI1/1165/76I
diritto internazionale ,bensi' daquelle dei diritti interni appli­
cabili ,come nelcaso deicontratti .
L'esame dei "principi direttivi "elaborati dalla Commissione
diDirezione dell' AIE eche regolano l'elaborazione el'applicazione
degli accordi diesecuzione ,nonché deltesto stesso ditali accordi
conferma questa interpretazione . !
Tenuto conto del carattere contrattuale diquesti accordi di
esecuzione ,laCommissione hapertanto lafacoltà diconcluderli in
virtù delle competenze che leattribuisce l'articolo 221 delTratta­
toCEE ,quando sitratti difarpartecipare atali accordi iprogram
midella Comunità basati sul Trattato CEE .
Comunque sia ,laCommissione haritenuto opportuno diinfor­
mare ilConsiglio ,prima della firma ,della sua intenzione dicon­
cludere detti Accordi ,ediconoscere leosservazioni che pofcreb -
bero essere formulate dai membri del Consiglio .
Inconclusione ,laCommissione propone alConsiglio t
I.
a)1-diprendere unadecisione contenente direttive alla Commis­
sione secondo ilprogetto riprodotto ali'allagato C.
Tali direttive hanno loscopo diavviare ,irt 'unpreciso
quadro giuridico ,una cooperazione equilibrata con l'AIE
inbase aiprogrammi R&Sdella Comunità relativi alla
produzione dell' idrogeno ,basati sull' articolo 7delTrat­
tato CEEA ;
2-diprendere altempo stesso unadecisione (Allegato D)che
approva laconclusione dell' accordo diesecuzione negozia­
toinbase alle direttive dicuialparagrafo a)1prece­
dente . 'i
b)diprendere nota dell' intenzione della Commissione diconcludere
