3. Vlada prevzame stroške vseh potrebnih javnih storitev za sekretariat zasedanja, vključno s krajevnimi telefonskimi pogovori, ter njegovega komuniciranja po teleksu ali telefonu s sedežem WMO, če komuniciranje odobri predstavnik generalnega sekretarja na zasedanju ali se odobri v njegovem imenu, ali uradnik, odgovoren za potek konference.

Vlada zagotovi, da je v hotelih ali nastanitvenih objektih na voljo ustrezna nastanitev po razumnih komercialnih cenah za udeležence ali za osebe, ki prisostvujejo zasedanju, ter za osebje WMO.

1. Vlada ob prihodu in odhodu zagotovi prevoz med letališčem Ljubljana, glavnimi hoteli in konferenčnim območjem v Ljubljani za člane sekretariata WMO, ki sodelujejo pri pripravi in izvedbi zasedanja.
2. Vlada za vse udeležence in osebe, ki prisostvujejo zasedanju, zagotovi možnost prevoza med letališčem Ljubljana, glavnimi hoteli in konferenčnim območjem.
3. Vlada zagotovi ustrezno število vozil za službene namene z vozniki za glavne uradnike in za sekretariat zasedanja ter take druge oblike lokalnega prevoza, kot jih zahteva sekretariat v zvezi z zasedanjem.

Vlada poskrbi za varnostne ukrepe, ki so potrebni za zagotovitev učinkovitega, varnega in nemotenega poteka zasedanja. Pristojni organi tesno sodelujejo s predstavnikom generalnega sekretarja na zasedanju ali uradnikom, odgovornim za potek konference.

1. Vlada imenuje uradnika za zvezo, ki je ob posvetovanju z WMO odgovoren za sprejem in izvajanje administrativnih in kadrovskih ukrepov v zvezi z zasedanjem, kot se zahteva po tem sporazumu.
2. Vlada najame in zagotovi ustrezno število lokalnega osebja, kot so pisarniški uslužbenci, osebje za razmnoževanje in razdeljevanje dokumentov, tonski mojstri, hostese, kurirji, čistilci in drugo osebje, potrebno za pravilen potek zasedanja, ter morda nekatere od potrebnih tajnic in strojepisk. Natančne potrebe bo določila WMO po posvetu z Vlado.

1. Vlada poleg finančnih obveznosti iz Priloge I k temu sporazumu v skladu s sklepom Devetega meteorološkega kongresa (odstavek 5.2.4 Splošnega povzetka zasedanja, Skrajšano poročilo Devetega kongresa) krije dejanske dodatne stroške, neposredno ali posredno povezane z zasedanjem v Ljubljani, namesto na sedežu WMO v Ženevi, kot je navedeno v Prilogi II. Ti stroški, ki so začasno ocenjeni na 87 734 švicarskih frankov, vključujejo, vendar niso omejeni le nanje, dejanske potne stroške in povračila, do katerih so upravičeni uradniki WMO, določeni, da pripravijo zasedanje ali se ga udeležijo, ter stroške pošiljanja vse potrebne opreme in materiala. Aranžmaje za potovanje uradnikov WMO, potrebnih za načrtovanje ali izvedbo zasedanja, in za pošiljanje vse potrebne opreme in materiala pripravi sekretariat v skladu s Predpisi in pravili WMO v zvezi z osebjem in z upravno prakso glede standarda potovanja, prevoza prtljage, plačila povečanih dnevnih nadomestil in terminalnih stroškov.
2. Po zasedanju WMO pošlje Vladi podroben obračun s prikazom dejanskih dodatnih stroškov, ki jih je imela WMO, ter zneska, ki ga prevzame Vlada skladno s prvim odstavkom. Ti stroški so izraženi v švicarskih frankih, uporabi pa se uradni menjalni tečaj Združenih narodov na dan izvedbe plačila. Na podlagi tega podrobnega obračuna Vlada WMO nakaže dolžni znesek v enem mesecu od prejema podrobnega obračuna. Podobno velja, da če bi bili končni stroški priprave zasedanja v Ljubljani nižji od stroškov, ki bi nastali, če bi bilo zasedanje na sedežu WMO v Ženevi, bi WMO povrnila razliko Vladi v enem mesecu od ugotovitve končnega obračuna. Opraviti je treba revizijo končnega obračuna, kot je predvideno v Finančnih predpisih WMO, pri končni uskladitvi obračuna pa se upoštevajo vse morebitne pripombe iz revizije, ki jo opravi zunanji revizor WMO, njegove ugotovitve pa WMO in Vlada sprejmeta kot dokončne.

1. Vlada prevzame odgovornost za vse postopke, zahtevke ali druge zahteve zoper WMO ali njene uradnike, ki izhajajo iz:
(a) poškodbe oseb ali poškodovanja ali izgube premoženja v prostorih iz III. člena, ki so pod nadzorom Vlade;
(b) poškodbe oseb ali poškodovanja ali izgube premoženja, ki jo povzroči uporaba ali nastane pri uporabi prevoznih storitev iz VI. člena, ki jih je zagotovila Vlada ali ki so pod njenim nadzorom;
(c) zaposlitve oseb na zasedanju, ki jih zagotovi Vlada v skladu z VIII. členom.
2. Vlada povrne morebitno škodo in oprosti obveznosti WMO in njene uradnike v zvezi z vsakim takim postopkom, zahtevkom ali drugo zahtevo.
3. Ta člen krije le zahtevke, ki nastanejo na podlagi pravice do odškodnine, in ne pripisuje Vladi Slovenije kakršnekoli odgovornosti v zvezi z boleznijo ali nesrečo udeležencev.

1. Glede zasedanja se uporablja Konvencija o privilegijih in imunitetah specializiranih agencij. Predstavniki članic iz odstavka 1(a) II. člena bodo uživali privilegije in imunitete iz V. člena te Konvencije, uradniki WMO iz II. člena, ki bodo opravljali naloge v zvezi z zasedanjem, bodo uživali privilegije in imunitete iz VI. in VIII. člena Konvencije, strokovnjaki, ki bodo opravljali naloge za WMO v zvezi z zasedanjem, pa bodo uživali privilegije in imunitete iz VIII. člena Konvencije.
2. Vse osebe iz II. člena imajo pravico do vstopa v Slovenijo in do zapustitve njenega ozemlja, če ni zadržkov za to na podlagi slovenske zakonodaje, ter se jim omogoči neoviran dostop do konferenčnega območja in z njega. Zajamčene jim bodo olajšave za hitro potovanje. Vizumi in vstopna dovoljenja, če so potrebni, bodo izdani kar najhitreje. Sprejeti bodo tudi ukrepi, da se zagotovi izdaja vizumov za čas trajanja zasedanja ob vstopu v Republiko Slovenijo na mejnih prehodih Karavanke, Šentilj, Fernetiči, Vrtojba, Dolga vas, Hodoš, Gruškovje, Obrežje, Jelšane, letališče Ljubljana – Brnik in letališče Maribor tistim udeležencem, ki jih niso mogli pridobiti pred prihodom. Izstopna dovoljenja, če so potrebna, bodo izdana kar najhitreje.
3. Za namene Konvencije in Splošnih pravil se konferenčni prostori, določeni v prvem odstavku III. člena, štejejo za prostore WMO, dostop vanje pa je v pristojnosti WMO. Prostori so nedotakljivi ves čas zasedanja, vključno s pripravljalno fazo in končanjem.
4. Vse osebe iz II. člena imajo pravico, da ob odhodu iz Slovenije brez omejitev odnesejo vsa neporabljena sredstva, ki so jih prinesle v Slovenijo v zvezi z zasedanjem, in da taka sredstva zamenjajo nazaj v tujo valuto po veljavnem menjalnem tečaju.
5. Vlada dovoli neobdavčeni in brezcarinski začasni uvoz vse opreme in oprosti uvoz materiala, potrebnega za zasedanje, vseh carin in dajatev. V ta namen takoj izda vsa potrebna uvozna in izvozna dovoljenja.

Vsak spor med WMO in Vlado v zvezi z razlago ali uporabo tega sporazuma, ki se ne reši s pogajanji ali drugim dogovorjenim načinom reševanja, se na zahtevo ene ali druge pogodbenice predloži v dokončno odločitev arbitražnemu sodišču, sestavljenemu iz treh razsodnikov; enega imenuje generalni sekretar WMO, drugega Vlada, tretjega razsodnika, ki je predsednik, pa izbereta prva dva. Če ena od pogodbenic ne imenuje razsodnika v 60 dneh od imenovanja razsodnika druge pogodbenice ali če se prva dva razsodnika ne dogovorita o izbiri tretjega v 60 dneh od svojega imenovanja, lahko na zahtevo ene ali druge pogodbenice potrebna imenovanja opravi predsednik Meddržavnega sodišča.

1. Ta sporazum se lahko spremeni s pisnim dogovorom med WMO in Vlado.
2. Ta sporazum začne veljati naslednji dan po prejemu uradnega obvestila, s katerim Vlada obvesti WMO, da so končani notranji postopki, potrebni za njegovo uveljavitev.
