3. The safeguards required by this Article shall be implemented in a manner designed to comply with Article IV of this Treaty, and to avoid hampering the economic or technological development of the Parties or international co-operation in the field of peaceful nuclear ac-tivities, including the international exchange of nuclear material and equipment for the process-ing, use or production of nuclear material for peaceful purposes in accordance with the pro-visions of this Article and the principle of safeguarding set forth in the Preamble of the Treaty.
