Each Party shall grant in accordance with
the Protocol referred to in this paragraph the appropriate privileges,
exemptions and immunities to EUTELSAT, to its officers, and to those
categories of its employees specified in such Protocol, to Parties and
representatives of Parties, to Signatories and representatives of
Signatories, and to persons participating in arbitration proceedings. In particular,
each Party shall grant to these individuals immunity from legal process in
respect of acts done or words written or spoken in the exercise of their
functions and within the limits of their duties to the extent and in the
cases to be provided for in the Protocol referred to in this paragraph. The
Party in whose territory the Headquarters of EUTELSAT is located shall, as
soon as possible, conclude with EUTELSAT a Headquarters Agreement covering
privileges, exemptions and immunities.
The Headquarters Agreement shall include a
provision that all Signatories acting in their capacity as such, except the
Signatory designated by the Party in whose territory the Headquarters of
EUTELSAT is located, shall be exempt from taxation on income earned from
EUTELSAT in the territory of such Party. The other Parties shall also, as
soon as possible, conclude a Protocol covering privileges, exemptions and
immunities. The Headquarters Agreement and the Protocol shall each prescribe
the conditions of its termination and shall be independent of the Convention.
