1. V skladu z določbami tega sporazuma imajo uradnik za zvezo in njegovi družinski člani, ki živijo z njim v skupnem gospodinjstvu in nimajo nizozemskega državljanstva, v Kraljevini Nizozemski in nasproti njej enake privilegije in imunitete, kakršni se podeljujejo članom diplomatskega osebja po Dunajski konvenciji o diplomatskih odnosih z dne 18. aprila 1961.
2. Imuniteta, ki se podeljuje osebam iz prvega odstavka tega člena, ne velja v primeru:
i) civilne tožbe tretje stranke za odškodnino, vključno za telesno poškodbo ali smrt, zaradi prometne nesreče, ki jo povzročijo te osebe, ali

1. Država pošiljateljica takoj uradno obvesti vlado o imenu uradnika za zvezo, njegovem prihodu in dokončnem odhodu ali prenehanju njegove napotitve ter o prihodu in dokončnem odhodu njegovih družinskih članov, ki z njim živijo v skupnem gospodinjstvu, in kadar je to ustrezno, tudi o dejstvu, da neka oseba ne živi več v tem gospodinjstvu.
2. Vlada uradniku za zvezo in njegovim družinskim članom, ki z njim živijo v skupnem gospodinjstvu, izda identifikacijsko kartico s fotografijo imetnika. Namen te kartice je identificirati imetnika v odnosu do organov države gostiteljice.

1. Vsak spor med državo pošiljateljico in vlado v zvezi z razlago ali uporabo tega sporazuma ali vsako vprašanje, povezano z uradnikom za zvezo ali odnosom med državo pošiljateljico in vlado, ki se ne reši sporazumno, se na zahtevo države pošiljateljice ali vlade predloži v končno odločitev tričlanskemu razsodišču.

3. Če se prva dva razsodnika v dveh mesecih po svojem imenovanju ne sporazumeta o tretjem, lahko katera koli stranka zaprosi predsednika Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti ali v njegovi odsotnosti podpredsednika, da opravi to imenovanje.
4. Če se stranki ne sporazumeta drugače, si razsodišče samo določi postopek.
5. Razsodišče odloči z večino glasov. Predsedujoči ima odločilni glas. Odločitev je dokončna in zavezujoča za stranki v sporu.

Ta sporazum velja le za del Kraljevine Nizozemske, ki je v Evropi.

Vsaka stranka imenuje enega razsodnika. Tretjega, ki predseduje razsodišču, izbereta prva dva razsodnika.
2. Če ena od strank v dveh mesecih po zaprosilu druge stranke, da imenuje razsodnika, tega ne stori, lahko druga stranka zaprosi predsednika Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti ali v njegovi odsotnosti podpredsednika, da opravi to imenovanje.
3. Če se prva dva razsodnika v dveh mesecih po svojem imenovanju ne sporazumeta o tretjem, lahko katera koli stranka zaprosi predsednika Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti ali v njegovi odsotnosti podpredsednika, da opravi to imenovanje.
4. Če se stranki ne sporazumeta drugače, si razsodišče samo določi postopek.
5. Razsodišče odloči z večino glasov. Predsedujoči ima odločilni glas. Odločitev je dokončna in zavezujoča za stranki v sporu.
