Artikel 8

1. a) The Planning Element will be exempted from customs duties on goods imported by the Planning Element itself. Imported goods will not be subject to general purchase tax upon importation. The Planning Element will be exempted from car taxes levied under the Motor Vehicles Weight Tax Act. When the Planning Element is making purchases for official use of moveable property on which value added tax has been charged or is chargeable, the appropriate Danish authorities will, whenever possible, make appropriate administrative arrangements for the reimbursement or remission of the amount of value added tax.
b) The Planning Element will be exempted from licence fees for radio and TV sets, procured for military purposes.
c) It is understood that items imported duty-free by the Planning Element for its operations will not be transferred to persons who are not entitled to enjoy this exemption until Danish duties and taxes have been paid. The time of transfer will govern the valuation for the purpose of customs clearance.
2. The Planning Element may hold currency of any kind and operate accounts in any currency. Bank accounts of the Planning Element will be exempted from national currency regulations, and from national emergency measures against bank accounts.
3. The property and assets of the Planning Element will be immune from search, requisition, confiscation, expropriation and any other form of interference, whether by executive, administrative, juridical or legislative actions, unless the Steering Committee of the Multinational United Nations Stand-by Forces High Readiness Brigade has waived this immunity.
