Art. 12 Overeenkomst tussen het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden en de Internationale Thee Promotie Associatie (ITPA) betreffende de zetel van de Organisatie

1). Representatives shall enjoy, while exercising their functions and in the course of their journeys to and from the place of meeting, the following privileges and immunities: immunity from arrest and detention and from seizure of their personal luggage; immunity from jurisdiction (even after the termination of their mission) in respect of acts, including words written or spoken, done by them in the exercise of their functions: this immunity shall not, however, apply in the case of a motor traffic offence committed by a representative nor in the case of damage caused by a motor vehicle belonging to or driven by a representative; inviolability for all their official papers and documents; the right to use codes and to receive documents or correspondence by special courier or sealed bag; exemption for themselves and their spouses from all measures restricting entry, from charges for visas and from aliens' registration formalities; the same customs facilities as regards their personal luggage and the same facilities in the matter of currency and exchange control as are accorded to the representatives of foreign Governments on temporary official missions. 2). Privileges and immunities are accorded to representatives not for their personal advantage but in order to ensure complete independence in the exercise of their functions in connection with the Association. Consequently, a Member of the International Tea Promotion Association Agreement has the duty to waive the immunity of a representative where retaining it would impede the course of justice and it can be waived without prejudicing the purposes for which it was accorded. De werking van de Overeenkomst is opgeschort van 30 september 1987 tot 30 juni 1989 (Trb. 1987/173).
