**1.** Any person authorised to enter any place under any legal provision shall not exercise that authority in respect of the premises of the Agency unless permission to do so has been given by or on behalf of the Director General of the Agency or the Head of ESTEC acting on his behalf. Such permission may, however, be presumed in the event of fire or other emergencies requiring prompt protective action. Any person who has entered the premises with the presumed permission of the Director General of the Agency or the Head of ESTEC acting on his behalf shall, if so requested by the Director General of the Agency or the Head of ESTEC acting on his behalf, leave the premises immediately.
**2.** In other cases, the Director General of the Agency or the Head of ESTEC acting on his behalf shall give serious consideration to a request for permission from the authorities of the Netherlands to enter the premises without prejudice to the interests of the Agency.
