Article 15

The Agency shall actively seek the cooperation of other Community bodies and programmes, and notably the Joint Research Centre, the Statistical Office of the European Communities (Eurostat) and the Community’s environmental research and development programmes. In particular: cooperation with the Joint Research Centre shall include the tasks set out in Annex I under A; coordination with Eurostat and the statistical programme of the European Communities shall follow the guidelines outlined in Annex I under B. The Agency shall also cooperate actively with other bodies such as the European Space Agency, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the Council of Europe and the International Energy Agency as well as the United Nations and its specialised agencies, particularly the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Meteorological Organisation and the International Atomic Energy Authority. The Agency may cooperate in areas of common interest with those institutions in countries which are not members of the Community which can provide data, information and expertise, methodologies of data collection, analysis and assessment which are of mutual interest and which are necessary for the successful completion of the Agency’s work. The cooperation referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 must in particular take account of the need to avoid any duplication of effort.
