1.For the purposes of immediate and practical implementation of certain elements of the EU Strategy against Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction, the Union shall support the IAEA’s activities in the areas of nuclear security and verification in order to further the following objectives:

(b)to enhance the protection of proliferation-sensitive materials and equipment and the relevant technology, providing legislative and regulatory assistance in the area of nuclear security and safeguards;
(c)to strengthen the detection of, and response to, illicit trafficking of nuclear and other radioactive materials.
2.The projects of the IAEA, corresponding to measures of the Strategy, aim to:
ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of support provided through previous Joint Actions and Council Decisions,
strengthen States’ indigenous nuclear security support infrastructures,
strengthen States’ legislative and regulatory frameworks,
strengthen nuclear security systems and measures for nuclear and other radioactive materials,
strengthen States’ institutional infrastructures and capabilities to deal with nuclear and radioactive materials out of regulatory control,
support awareness of and strengthen States’ response and resilience to cyber-crime impacting nuclear security,
develop additional laboratory capacity to support evaluation of industrial control and electronic system level technologies used to identify vulnerabilities to nuclear-related cyber-crime, and exploit and increase awareness of such issues, including through participation in regional exchanges, and the utilisation of compensatory or remediation measures.
The selection of recipient States and projects shall be made by the Council on the basis of a comprehensive IAEA evaluation of needs and various other considerations with the aim of ensuring maximum impact of action.
A detailed description of the projects is set out in the Annex.
