The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands presents its compliments to the African Management Services Company and, with reference to the Treaty between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) concerning the African Training and Management Services (ATMS) Project of the United Nations Development Programme of 13 April 1989, the Exchange of Notes of 22 November/7 December 2005 between the Government of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the African Management Services Company and to discussions between the Ministry and the African Management Services Company regarding employment opportunities of members of the families forming part of the household of the officials of the African Management Services Company, has the honour to propose the following in respect of the privileges and immunities of the staff of the African Management Services Company:

  • 1. Members of the family forming part of the household of all categories of officials in the service of the African Management Services Company shall be authorised to engage in gainful employment in the Netherlands for the duration of the term of office of the officials concerned.

  • 2. The following persons are members of the family forming part of the household in the sense of paragraph 1:

    • a) the spouses or registered partners of officials in the service of the African Management Services Company;

    • b) children of officials in the service of the African Management Services Company who are under the age of 18;

    • c) children of officials in the service of the African Management Services Company who are aged 18 or over, but not older than 27, provided that they formed part of the official's household prior to their first entry into the Netherlands and still form part of this household, and that they are unmarried, financially dependent on the official concerned and are attending fulltime education in the Netherlands;

    • d) children of officials in the service of the African Management Services Company who are aged 18 or over, but not older than 23; they shall also be recognized as members of the family forming part of the household if they are not studying as long as they are unmarried and financially dependent on the official concerned.

  • 3. Persons mentioned in paragraph 2 who obtain gainful employment shall enjoy no immunity from criminal, civil or administrative jurisdiction with respect to matters arising in the course of or in connection with such employment. However, any measures of execution shall be taken without infringing the inviolability of their person or of their residence, if they are entitled to such inviolability.

  • 4. In case of the insolvency of a person aged under 18 with respect to a claim arising out of a gainful employment of that person, the immunity of the official in the service of the African Management Services Company of whose family the person concerned is a member shall be waived for the purpose of settlement of the claim, in accordance with the provisions of the applicable African Management Services Company agreements.

  • 5. The employment referred to in paragraph 1 shall be in accordance with Netherlands legislation, including fiscal and social security legislation, unless any other applicable international legal instrument provides otherwise.

If this proposal is acceptable to the African Management Services Company, the Ministry proposes that this Note and the African Management Services Company's affirmative reply to it shall together constitute an Agreement between the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the African Management Services Company. This Agreement shall enter into force on the date of receipt of the African Management Services Company's reply by the Ministry.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of the Netherlands avails itself of this opportunity to renew to the African Management Services Company the assurances of its highest consideration.
