                                 AIMS
By its Decision of 9 September 19^1 (Official Journal No . 65 of
 9 October 19^1 ),    Council established the 'Socifete d'energie
nuclfeaire franco-beige des Ardennes' as a Joint Undertaking .  Under
the second subparagraph of Article 50 of the Euratom Treaty ,
amendments to the statutes of Joint Undertaking do not enter into
force until they have been approved by the Council , acting in
accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 47 on a proposal
from the Commission .
At their extraordinary general meeting on 29 June 1972 , the
shareholders of the 'Society d'&nergie nuclfeaire franco-beige des
Ardennes' approved amendments to the Statutes for the adoption of
the age limits as recommended in French Law No . 70,1284 of
31 December 1970 for the Directors of the company , and the addition
to the company name of the distinguishing abbreviation M SEHA".
These amendments were accorded a favourable opinion by the French
Council of State on 13 February 1973 in the draft Order , which will
not be published until these amendments have been approved by the
Council of the European Communities .
The Commission considers that the amendments to the Statutes do not
conflict with the provisions governing the 'Socifete d'&nergie
nucleaire franco-beige des Ardennes' Joint Undertaking .
The Commission therefore proposes that the Council approve these
amendments to the Statutes .
