ROYAL NETHERLANDS EMBASSY
No. 1254
Jakarta, January 18, 1979
Subject: Cooperation agreement between the University Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta, Agricultural
University Wageningen, State University of Utrecht and Free University Amsterdam.
Your Excellency,
In 1977 the Agricultural University of Wageningen, the State University of Utrecht
and the Free University of Amsterdam prepared a proposal for a cooperation agreement
with the Gadjah Mada University Yogyakarta which was submitted to the Netherlands
University Foundation for International Cooperation (NUFFIC).
The Netherlands Minister for Development Cooperation approved the proposed cooperation
programme and committed an amount of Dfl. 4 million to finance the first phase (3
years) of the cooperation programme which comprises activities in two fields: basic
sciences and integrated rural development.
The objectives of the cooperation programme and the respective contributions of the
four universities were laid down in a letter of intent (May 1978) as well as in a
General scheme of Activities (May 1978). These constitute in fact the Terms of Reference
and the Plan of Operations for the cooperation programme. These documents have been
submitted to the Sekretariat Kabinet by letter of this Embassy No. 11814 dated July
31, 1978.
By letter No. 6199/Set/Kab/LN/P/10/1978 dated October 23, 1978 Sekretariat Kabinet
informed this Embassy of its approval with the cooperation of the three Dutch Universities
and the Gadjah Mada University.
With regard to the implementation of the cooperation programme my Government would
like to propose the following. The Netherlands personnel assigned in the framework
of the cooperation programme shall enjoy the privileges, immunities and facilities
described in Article 4 of the Agreement on Technical Cooperation between the Kingdom
of the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia of April 3, 1964.
The provisions of Article 5 of the said Agreement shall be applicable to the importation
and exportation of the Netherlands equipment and materials for the programme.
The equipment and materials supplied by the Netherlands will be transferred in ownership
to the Indonesian authorities upon completion of the programme.
If the foregoing is acceptable to you, I have the honour to propose that this letter
together with your reply, approving the above and returned to this Embassy, would
constitute the official exchange of letters formalizing the implementation of the
first phase 1979-1981 of the abovementioned programme of cooperation.
Please accept, Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.
