Trajanje privilegijev in imunitet
(1) Oseba, upravičena do privilegijev in imunitet na ozemlju države gostiteljice skladno s tem delom, te privilegije in imunitete uživa od vstopa v državo gostiteljico zaradi prevzema dolžnosti, ali če je že v njej, od trenutka, ko država pošiljateljica obvesti pristojne organe države gostiteljice o njenem prihodu. Ko te osebe prenehajo opravljati naloge, privilegiji in imunitete, ki jih uživajo v državi gostiteljici, običajno prenehajo, ko jo zapustijo ali ko poteče razumno obdobje, v katerem naj bi jo zapustile. Še vedno pa uživajo imuniteto glede dejanj, ki so jih storile pri opravljanju svojih nalog.
(2) Osebi, upravičeni do privilegijev in imunitet po tem delu, se pri opravljanju njenih s SELEC-om povezanih uradnih nalog na ozemlju pogodbenic, razen v državi gostiteljici, ti privilegiji in imunitete priznavajo od vstopa na ozemlje pogodbenice in med njenim prebivanjem na njem. Nobena določba tega protokola pristojnim organom pogodbenic ne preprečuje, da od SELEC-a zahtevajo ustrezna dokazila, s katerimi se potrjuje, da osebe, ki zahtevajo obravnavanje v skladu s tem protokolom, potujejo zaradi opravljanja uradnih nalog SELEC-a.
16. člen
Omejitev imunitet
Imuniteta pred sodnim postopkom ne velja za civilno tožbo za povrnitev škode, ki je posledica nesreče na ozemlju pogodbenice, ki jo povzroči vozilo, plovilo ali zrakoplov, ki ga upravlja predstavnik države članice, uradnik za zvezo, generalni direktor, direktor, član osebja SELEC-a ali predstavnik operativnega partnerja; prav tako imuniteta ne velja pred sodnim postopkom zaradi prometnega prekrška.
17. člen
Odpoved imunitete
(1) Privilegiji in imunitete v tem protokolu se posameznikom priznavajo zaradi zagotavljanja neodvisnega opravljanja nalog, povezanih s SELEC-om, in ne zaradi njihove osebne koristi.
(2) Vse osebe, ki uživajo privilegije in imunitete po tem protokolu, morajo ne glede na svoje privilegije in imunitete spoštovati zakone in druge predpise države gostiteljice in drugih pogodbenic.
(3) Pristojnost za odpoved privilegijev in imunitet je naslednja:
(a) za odpoved imunitete predstavnikom držav članic in uradnikom za zvezo je pristojna pogodbenica pošiljateljica. Pogodbenica ima pravico in dolžnost odpovedati imuniteto, kadar bi po njenem mnenju ovirala sodni postopek in ne bi vplivala na namene, za katere se prizna;
(b) svet ima pravico in dolžnost odpovedati imuniteto generalnemu direktorju in direktorjem, kadar bi ovirala sodni postopek in bi jo bilo mogoče odpovedati, ne da bi to vplivalo na interese SELEC-a;
(c) generalni direktor ima pravico in dolžnost odpovedati imuniteto članom osebja SELEC-a, kadar bi ovirala sodni postopek in bi jo bilo mogoče odpovedati, ne da bi to vplivalo na interese SELEC-a;
(d) za odpoved imunitete predstavnikom operativnega partnerja je pristojen operativni partner pošiljatelj. Operativni partner ima pravico in dolžnost odpovedati imuniteto, kadar bi po njegovem mnenju ovirala sodni postopek in ne bi vplivala na namene, za katere se prizna.
(4) Odpoved imunitete ne velja za sredstva izvršbe, za katera je potrebna posebna odpoved.
(5) SELEC ves čas sodeluje s pristojnimi organi pogodbenic in operativnih partnerjev ter tako pripomore k učinkovitemu delovanju pravosodnega sistema in preprečevanju zlorab privilegijev in imunitet iz tega protokola.
