The safeguard agreement with regard to civilian nuclear facilities between India and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has come into force, US president Barack Obama has said.
Obama said this in a memorandum issued to the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as mandated by the United States-India Nuclear Cooperation Approval and Nonproliferation Enhancement Act regarding the safeguards agreement between India and the IAEA.
Obama also certified that India has filed a declaration of facilities ?"- as mandated by the agreement -- that is "not materially inconsistent" with the facilities and schedule described in the Separation Plan presented in the Parliament on May 11, 2006, taking into account the later initiation of safeguards than was anticipated in the Separation Plan.
