The Euratom Supply Agency's mission
is to ensure a regular and equitable supply of nuclear fuels for Community
users. The Euratom Supply Agency acts under the supervision of the European
Commission which shall issue directives to it and possesses a right
of veto over its decisions. One of the fundamental objectives of the
European Atomic Energy Community (Euratom) Treaty is to ensure that
all users in the Community receive a regular and equitable supply of
ores and nuclear fuels. In order to be valid under the Euratom Treaty,
supply contracts must be submitted to the Supply Agency for conclusion.
The Supply Agency and the Commission pursue the objective of long term
security of supply through a reasonable diversification of supply sources
and the avoidance of excessive dependency on any one supply source and
ensure that the viability of the EU nuclear fuel industry is maintained:
