The Government of the United States of America agrees to furnish the Netherlands Forces
with available materials, supplies, services, and facilities which the Netherlands
Forces will require for these operations, and which the Government of the Netherlands
is unable to furnish. The Government of the Netherlands and the Government of the
United States of America will maintain accounts of materials, supplies, services,
and facilities furnished by the Government of the United States of America to the
Government of the Netherlands, its forces or agencies. Reimbursement for such materials,
supplies, services, and facilities will be accomplished by the Government of the Netherlands
upon presentation of statements of account by the Government of the United States
of America. Such payment will be effected by the Government of the Netherlands in
United States dollars. Issues of materials and supplies to the Netherlands Forces
will not operate to transfer title to the Government of the Netherlands in advance
of reimbursement.
Pursuant to Article 1, appropriate technical and administrative arrangements will
be concluded between authorized representatives of the Government of the Netherlands
and authorized representatives of the Government of the United States of America.
Classified items, specialized items, or items in short supply furnished to the Government
of the Netherlands by the Government of the United States of America will be returned
to the Government of the United States of America upon request, as a credit against
the cost of materials, supplies, and services previously furnished. If the Government
of the Netherlands determines at the time of redeployment of its forces that materials
or supplies received from the Government of the United States of America hereunder
are not desired for retention, such materials or supplies may be offered to the Government
of the United States of America and if accepted, their residual value as determined
by the Government of the United States of America will be used as a credit against
reimbursement for materials, supplies, and services previously furnished.
Each of the parties to this agreement agrees not to assert any claim against the other
party for injury or death of members of its armed forces of for loss, damage, or destruction
of its property or property of members of its armed forces caused in Korea by members
of the armed forces of the other party. Claims of any other Government or its nationals
against the Government or nationals of the Government of the Netherlands or vice versa
shall be a matter for disposition between the Government of the Netherlands and such
third government or its nationals.
The Government of the Netherlands will maintain accounts of materials, supplies, services,
and facilities furnished by other governments to personnel or agencies of the Government
of the Netherlands, either directly or through the Commander. Settlement of any claims
arising as a result of the furnishing of such materials, supplies, services, and facilities
to the Government of the Netherlands by such third governments, whether directly or
through the Commander, shall be a matter for consideration between such third governments
and the Government of the Netherlands.
The requirements of the Netherlands Forces for Korean currency will be supplied under
arrangements approved by the Commander; provided, however, that settlement of any
obligation of the Government of the Netherlands for use of such currency will be a
matter of consideration between the Government of the Netherlands and the competent
authorities of Korea. If, with the approval of the Commander, personnel and agencies
of the Government of the Netherlands use media of exchange other than Korean currency
in Korea, obligations arising therefrom will be a matter for consideration and settlement
between the Government of the Netherlands and the other concerned governments.
The Government of the Netherlands agrees that all orders, directives, and policies
of the Commander issued to the Netherlands Forces or its personnel shall be accepted
and carried out by them as given and that in the event of disagreement with such orders,
directives, or policies, formal protest may be presented subsequently.
Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to affect existing agreements or arrangements
between the parties for the furnishing of materials, supplies, services, or facilities.
This agreement shall come into force upon the date of signature thereof, and shall
apply to all materials, supplies, services, and facilities furnished or rendered before,
on, or after that date, to all claims referred to in Article 4 arising before, on,
or after that date, and to all technical and administrative arrangements concluded
pursuant to Article 2 before, on, or after that date.
