Article 63

Ores, source materials and special fissile materials produced by Joint Undertakings  shall be allotted to users in accordance with the rules laid down in the statutes or  agreements of such undertakings.

Section 3

Ores, source materials and special fissile materials coming from outside the  Community

Article 64

The Agency, acting where appropriate within the framework of agreements  concluded between the Community and a third State or an international organization,  shall, subject to the exceptions provided for in this Treaty, have the exclusive right  to enter into agreements or contracts whose principal aim is the supply of ores,  source materials or special fissile materials coming from outside the Community.

Article 65

Article 60 shall apply applications from users and to contracts between users and the  Agency relating to the supply of ores, source materials or special fissile materials  coming from outside the Community.

The Agency may, however, decide on the geographical origin of supplies provided  that conditions which are at least as favourable as those specified in the order are  thereby secured for the user.

Article 66

Should the Commission find, on application by the users concerned, that the Agency  is not in a position to deliver within a reasonable period of time all or part of the  supplies ordered, or that it can only do so at excessively high prices, the users shall  have the right to conclude directly contracts relating to supplies from outside the  Community, provided that such contracts meet in essential respects the requirements  specified in their orders.

This right shall be granted for a period of one year; it may be extended if the  situation which justified its granting continues.

Users who avail themselves of the right provided for in this Article shall  communicate to the Commission the direct contracts which they propose to conclude. The Commission may, within one month, object to the conclusion of such contracts if  they are contrary to the objectives of this Treaty.
