134 United Nations - Treaty Series 1956 No. 3299. AGREEMENT' FOR CO-OPERATION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE GOVERNMENT OF BELGIUM CONCERNING THE CIVIL USES OF ATOMIC ENERGY. SIGNED AT WASHINGTON, ON 15 JUNE 1955 Beginning with discussions in 1940 the Government of the United States of America and the Government of Belgium have cooperated with each other in the atomic energy field. As a result of these discussions, the Belgian Government and the Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom reached a common understanding as to the desirability during World War II, as well as in the future, that all uranium ores wherever located should be subject to effective control for the protection of civilization. To this end, the Government of Belgium undertook to insure effective control of such ores located in all territory subject to its authority. The Belgian Government has also made available Congo uranium ores to the United States and the United Kingdom through commercial contracts. The Belgian Government further undertook to use its best endeavors to supply such quantities of uranium ores as might be required by the Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom. The arrangements outlined above were on the understanding that Belgium would reserve for itself such quantities of uranium ores as might be required for its own scientific and industrial purposes. The Belgian Government, however, in deciding to utilize such ores as a source of energy for commercial power would do so in consultation and in agreement with the Governments of the United States and the United Kingdom. The latter on their part, agreed that the Belgian Government should participate on equitable terms in the utilization of these ores as a source of energy for commercial power at such time as the two Governments should decide to employ the ores for this purpose. Since that time the Government of Belgium has made available to the United States and to the United Kingdom, through commercial contracts, a vitally important quantity of uranium produced in the Belgian Congo and thus has made a unique contribution to the defense of the western world. The United States and the United Kingdom have assisted in the development of the Congo uranium properties and have assisted the Government of Belgium in the establishment of 1 In accordance with article II, the Agreement came into force on 21 July 1955, the date of receipt by the Government of Belgium of a notification from the Government of the United States of America that the period of thirty days required by the United States Atomic Energy Act of 1954 had elapsed.
