and
the Common Fund for Commodities,
Recalling that, during the United Nations Negotiating Conference on a Common Fund
under the Integrated Programme for Commodities, the Government of the Kingdom of the
Netherlands proposed Amsterdam as a suitable location for the Headquarters of the
Common Fund for Commodities and that, at the First annual Meeting of the Governing
Council of the Common Fund for Commodities in 1989, the Government of the Kingdom
of the Netherlands gave certain undertakings regarding the provision and financing
of office space for the Fund's Headquarters, conference facilities for its meetings

in its Articles 40 to 50 certain provisions regarding the legal status, privileges
and immunities of the Fund in its Member States,
Taking into account that the establishment of the Headquarters of the Common Fund
for Commodities in the territory of the Kingdom of the Netherlands makes further provisions
desirable,
Have agreed as follows:
