In an effort to strengthen the international safeguards system, the United Kingdom, along with European Community partners, has recently notified the International Atomic Energy Agency that EC member states intend to provide information on transfers of ore concentrates imported or exported from the European Community and information on the items listed in annex B to IAEA IN FCI RC/254/RevI/Part I, when a licence for whose export to a country outside the European Community has been approved.
