Sir,

I have the honour to inform you that the Secretariat of the International Atomic Energy Agency is planning to hold a Research Co-ordination Meeting on “Operator Support Systems in Nuclear Power Plants", possibly from 16–20 October 1995, which will be organized in the framework of the activities of the International Working Group on Nuclear Power Plant Control and Instrumentation (IWG-NPPCI).

The purpose of the meeting will be a discussion and analysis of the results achieved within the framework of the Agency's sponsored Co-ordinated Research Programme (CRP) and to prepare the final report.

Approximately 15–20 scientists from 12 countries are expected to attend the meeting.

The Agency's Secretariat had preliminary informal discussions with Mr. E. F. Loriaux, N.V. Kema, who is the deputy chief national investigator in the CRP. Mr. Loriaux indicated that the Netherlands might be willing to host a five day meeting for the CRP in October 1995 in Arnhem.

I have the honour to enquire whether your Government would wish to host the meeting in question, and if so, whether your Government would agree to make the following arrangements:

1. The Government of the Netherlands will accord to the Agency its property, funds and assets and to the officials of the Agency and participants officially designated to attend the meeting in their official capacities, and to members of the immediate families of such persons, the privileges and immunities established by the Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the International Atomic Energy Agency which was accepted by the Government on 29 August 1963.

2. The Government will accord to the officials and participants mentioned above every facility necessary for the performance of their functions in connection with the meeting, including entering, remaining in and leaving the Netherlands. The Government will issue any necessary visas as expeditiously as possible and, where the legislation of the Netherlands permits, free of charge. Annex I contains the list of Member States to be invited to participate. The Agency will inform the Government promptly of all persons officially designated to attend the meeting. The Agency will also advise such persons to apply for visas, if necessary, in good time before the opening date of the meeting, and the Host Government is expected to issue such visas promptly so as to allow participants to attend the meeting.

3. The Government will facilitate customs formalities for those persons on entering and leaving the Netherlands.

4. The Government will make available to the Agency, without charge, and for the entire duration of the meeting, premises and facilities adequate and appropriate for the meeting as listed in Annex II.

5. The Government will exercise reasonable care to ensure the security of the premises in which the meeting takes place and to ensure the safety of the officials of the Agency and participants while on the premises of the meeting. The Government will take whatever steps may be reasonable in the circumstances to ensure such security and safety, including such supervision of the premises as may be warranted.

Should your Government wish to host the meeting in question, I would be grateful if you would inform me in writing of your Governments's agreement on the above enumerated points by 31 March 1995, so as to enable the Secretariat to proceed with timely arrangements.

Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.
