CO-OPERATION IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE

1 In connection with the duties performed by officers of a Contracting Party pursuant to their national law on the network used by trains but within their own territory, such officers shall be authorised to board trains within the territory of another Contracting Party or to disembark therefrom when they have completed their duties, provided that such travel within foreign territory has been notified to the competent authorities of the Host State before the officers leave their national territory.

2 Without prejudice to paragraph (4) of this Article, while in the territory of another Contracting Party such officers have no powers under this Agreement to continue or commence their duties pursuant to their national law.

3 During their presence in the territory of the Host State pursuant to paragraph (1), officers of the other Contracting Parties shall wear their national uniform or other distinctive insignia unless the nature of the duties in their national territory requires otherwise. Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 12A of this Agreement, they shall be allowed to wear and carry in the Host State such service weapons, ammunition and equipment as agreed with the Host State.

4 Where officers from one Contracting Party have arrested an individual or seized an object on board a train within their own national territory and it is then necessary, for practical reasons, to cross the frontier, such arrest or seizure shall remain lawful in the territory of the Host State. The competent authorities of the Host State shall be informed of any such situation without delay. If an officer is not wearing uniform when arresting persons or seizing goods within their own national territory, they must make themselves identifiable as an officer at the time they cross the frontier into Host State territory, or as soon as possible thereafter, by wearing national uniform or other visible distinctive insignia or otherwise taking appropriate steps to be visibly identified as an officer.

5 Following the eventuality set out in paragraph (4) above, unless agreement to the contrary is reached with the Host State or the Contracting Party deemed to have jurisdiction under Article 15, those Officers shall, as soon as is practicable, return to their national territory with the arrested individual and/or any seized objects.
