IAEA asks high-level experts to decide agency's future
Vienna (AFP) Feb 26, 2008 The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said Tuesday that it had asked a group of 18 top experts to assess the future challenges facing the UN atomic watchdog as more countries pursue nuclear technology. IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei had asked a high-level panel of experts, called the "Commission of Eminent Persons", to "make recommendations on ways in which the agency can prepare to meet its expanding workload," the IAEA said in a statement. The commission, holding its initial meetings at the IAEA's headquarters in Vienna on Monday and Tuesday, is being chaired by former Mexican president Ernesto Zedillo and comprised "18 senior international figures", the statement said. They included former Austrian chancellor Wolfgang Schuessel, former US senator Sam Nunn and the head of French energy giant Areva, Anne Lauvergeon. ElBaradei said the commission's findings were intended to stimulate further discussion about the future of the agency and how best it can contribute to efforts by the international community to achieve "development, peace and security".
