Abstract

Objective: To develop cooperation in the field of forecast and prevention of natural and technological disasters

Summary of provisions: Cooperation in this field is to include primarily exchange of scientific and technical information and relevant data on a regular basis, implementation of common research programmes, and training of experts (art. 1). A Joint Committee of representatives of the Contracting Parties is established inter alia to agree on the trends for cooperation and implementation (art.2). Disputes arising from the interpretation and implementation of this Agreement which cannot be solved by the Joint Committee are to be settled by diplomatic channels (art. 5).

Institutional mechanisms: A national authority is to act as a coordinator for the implementation of this Agreement (art. 7).
