The
Participants authorise the Organisation to conclude the necessary contracts
for the execution of the programme in conformity with the Organisation's
rules and procedures. However, in placing contracts and sub-contracts for the
execution of the programme, first preference shall be given, wherever
possible, to having the work executed in the territories of the Participants
and second preference to having it done in the territories of other member
States of the Organisation, taking into consideration the decisions of the
Council of the Organisation in the matter of contractual policy and
distribution of work.

For this
purpose the geographical distribution of contracts among the Participants
concerning the Spacelab programme shall correspond to the percentage
contributions of the Participants. Since the percentage of work to be
performed in non-member States either by direct contracts from the
Organisation or by sub-contracts issued by the industrial prime contractor,
will probably in this programme be unusually high, the Organisation shall
keep the amount of such contracts and sub-contracts under review and ensure
that they are excluded from the preparation of statistics on the geographical
distribution of contracts amongst Participants.
