Nr. I — MINISTER VAN BUITENLANDSE ZAKEN Briefwisseling houdende een verdrag tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de Noordatlantische Verdragsorganisatie betreffende de voorrechten en immuniteiten van de NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A)

MINISTER VAN BUITENLANDSE ZAKEN

The Hague, 17 December 2003

Dear Secretary General,

I have the honour to refer to the Agreement on the Status of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, National Representatives and International Staff signed at Ottawa on 20 September 1951 (hereinafter called the Ottawa Agreement) and to the Agreement between the Parties of the North Atlantic Treaty regarding the status of their forces, signed in London on 19 June 1951 (hereinafter called the London Agreement).

Considering:

that in the context of the dissolution of NATO Communications and Information Systems Organisation (NACISO) and SHAPE Technical Center (STC) and the establishment of the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Organisation (hereinafter called NC3O) on 1st July 1996, the Netherlands Government has agreed to the establishment in The Netherlands of a part of the NC3O: the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) that represents the legal successor organisation of STC;

that the NC3O Charter (PO(96)99) foresees that the NATO Consultation, Command and Control Agency (NC3A) shall comprise a civilian and military element (hereinafter called NC3A personnel);

that the civilian personnel will be deemed to be NATO International Personnel and shall be covered by the Ottawa Agreement, and the military component will be deemed to be members of the International Military Staff and shall be covered by the London Agreement;

that the Netherlands Government is prepared to grant privileges and immunities to NC3A and its personnel in The Netherlands that are no less favourable than those previously granted to STC and with regard to the military component, than those granted to International Military Headquarters in the Netherlands.

Now therefore the Netherlands Government deems it desirable to formulate certain provisions together with you as a supplement to the Ottawa Agreement and to the London Agreement as applicable.

To this end I have the honour to propose the following provisions:

I have the honour to propose that if the provisions set forth above are acceptable to you the present letter and your affirmative reply constitute a supplementary Agreement to the Ottawa Agreement and to the London Agreement between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation with regard to the privileges and immunities of the NC3O in The Netherlands, which shall enter into force on the day on which the Parties have notified each other in writing that the legal requirements for entry into force have been complied with.

Please accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.

(sd.) BERNARD BOT
