Whereas the United Nations Environment Programme (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘UNEP’’) has accepted, in accordance with the decision of the Fifth Meeting of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity, the invitation of the Government of the Netherlands (herein- after referred to as ‘‘the Government’’), to hold the sixth meeting of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (hereinafter referred to as ‘‘the Conference’’) and the first Meeting of the Parties to the Carta- gena Protocol on Biosafety (hereinafter referred to as MOP-1) from 7 to 28 April 2002 in The Hague, the Netherlands,

Now therefore, UNEP (on behalf of the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity) and the Government agree as follows:

1. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the rules of proce- dure for the Conference of the Parties, the Conference shall be open to participation by representatives or observers of:

3. The meetings of the Conference, which are not restricted to Par- ties, shall be open to representatives of information media accredited by UNEP at its discretion after consultation with the Government, unless the Conference of the Parties decides otherwise according to Rule 29 of the Rules of Procedures.

4. The Government shall provide, for the duration of the meeting of the Conference of the Parties, the necessary premises, including office space, working areas and other related facilities, as specified in Annex A hereto.

The meeting rooms shall be equipped for reciprocal simultaneous interpretation between the six official UN lan- guages, adequate sound recording from the floor, as well as facilities for press, television and radio operations. The premises, office space, work- ing areas and other related facilities shall be available and in full func- tioning order three (3) days before the official opening of the Confer- ence, unless otherwise stated in the annexes and one day after official closing of the meetings to allow repacking and dismantling.

5. The Government shall provide, if possible within the conference area: a bank, post office, a travel agency, a business centre equipped in consultation with UNEP with telephone, facsimile, photocopying and electronic mail facilities for the use of delegations to the Conference on a commercial basis, as well as appropriate eating facilities offering an

appropriate range of menu options, sufficient for the number of delegates and conference staff and available for possible late night working ses- sions.

6. The Government shall bear the cost (estimated at US$ 20,000) of all necessary utility services incurred as a result of the meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-6) and the first Meeting of the Parties to xxx Xxxxxxxxx Protocol on Biosafety (MOP-1), including local tel- ephone communications of the Secretariat and its international commu- nications by telephone, facsimile and electronic mail when such com- munications are authorized by or on behalf of the Executive Secretary of the CBD, with the understanding that this estimated amount will be based on actual usage.

7. The Government shall bear the cost of transport and insurance charges, from the seat of the Secretariat of the Convention in Montreal, Canada, to the site of the Conference and return, of all United Nations equipment and supplies required for the adequate functioning of the Conference. The United Nations shall determine the mode of shipment of such equipment and supplies having regard to the need for economy but with first regard to the needs of the meeting of the Conference of the Parties. The Government shall designate a person and an office to accept, store and re-ship such equipment and supplies.

8. The Government shall ensure that adequate accommodation in hotels or residences is available at reasonable commercial rates for per- sons participating in, or attending the Conference. The Government shall ensure, as early as possible, accommodation for the Secretariat staff servicing the Conference preferably at a hotel close to the venue of the Conference.

While such police services shall be under the direct supervision and control of a senior officer provided by the Government, this officer shall work in close cooperation with a designated senior offi- cial of the United Nations, and shall be fluent in English.

14. The Government shall appoint a bilingual liaison officer fluent in English and at least one official UN language, preferably French, who shall be responsible, in consultation with UNEP, for making and carry- ing out the administrative, logistics and personnel arrangements for the Conference as required under this Agreement.

15. The Government shall recruit and provide at its expense an adequate number of local support personnel. The Government is respon- sible for the local personnel whose work will be supervised in close con- sultation with the Executive Secretary or his representative (s). The local personnel is necessary for the proper functioning of the meetings includ- ing secretaries, typists, clerks, technicians and personnel for the repro- duction and distribution of documents, assistant conference officers, ush- ers, messengers, bilingual receptionists, cleaners and workmen as well as drivers for the cars referred to in paragraph 11 above.

The Government, in addition to the financial obligation provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, shall in accordance with General Assembly resolution 31/40, section 1 paragraph 5, bear the actual addi- tional costs directly or indirectly involved in holding the conference in The Hague, the Netherlands, rather than at the seat of the Secretariat of the CBD in Montreal, Canada. Such costs, which are provisionally esti- mated at approximately US$ 455,000, are detailed in Annex D hereto.

18. The Government, in addition to the financial obligation provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, shall bear the actual additional costs
