Art. XVIII Verdrag tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de Europese Politiedienst (Europol) betreffende de zetel van Europol

1. The privileges and immunities granted under the provisions of this Agreement are conferred in the interests of Europol and not for the personal benefit of the individuals themselves. It is the duty of Europol and all persons enjoying such privileges and immunities to observe in all other respects the laws and regulations of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. 2. The Director shall be required to waive the immunity of any expert, or representative of a third State or international organisation as mentioned in Article XII, paragraph 6, in cases where the immunity would impede the course of justice and can be waived without prejudice to the interests of Europol. In respect of Members of the Joint Supervisory Body, the waiving of the immunities shall be within the competence of the respective Member States. 3. Europol shall co-operate at all times with the appropriate Host State authorities to facilitate the proper administration of justice and shall prevent any abuse of the privileges and immunities granted under the provisions of this Agreement. 4. Should the Government consider that an abuse of a privilege or immunity conferred by this Agreement has occurred, the Director shall, upon request, consult with the appropriate Host State authorities to determine whether any such abuse has occurred. If such consultations fail to achieve a result satisfactory to the Director and to the Government, the matter shall be settled in accordance with the procedure set out in Article XIX.
