Artikel I.5

a). The Participants agree to set up a Committee, bereinafter referred to as ``the Sales Control Committee", with responsibility for determining whether a projected launch sale constitutes use that runs counter to the provisions of section I.2a).
The Sales Control Committee shall comprise one representative of each participating government. The members of the Sales Control Committee shall be kept informed by the Director General of the Agency of projected sales of Arianespace launches to non-member States and to customers that come under the jurisdiction of such States.
The Sales Control Committee shall be convened as follows: one-third of the members may request a meeting on the grounds that the use of a launcher would run counter to the provisions of section I.2(a).
This request must be made not more than four weeks after the members of the Sales Control Committee have been informed of the proposed contract. The Sales Control Committee must then be convened within two weeks. Within four weeks at the most, it may decide to prohibit the projected launch sale on the grounds that it is incompatible with the provisions of section I.2a), doing so by a two-thirds majority of its members.
This decision shall be binding on Arianespace. The French Government, in the exercise of the competences that France holds by virtue of the Outer Space Treaty, undertakes to take the necessary steps to ensure the proper implementation of the prohibition decisions taken by the Sales Control Committee.
b). Without prejudice to the obligations devolving upon it under this Declaration, any Participant shall retain the right to declare that for reasons of its own, it does not associate itself with a particular launch.
c). If a Participant considers that the sale of a launch is not compatible with its adherence to this Declaration, it must, after such consultations as it may deem necessary, inform the Director General of the Agency.
If, after the Director General has informed Arianespace, the sale goes through, the Participant may immediately suspend its adherence to this Declaration in respect of the sale in question, on condition that it formally notifies the Agency and the other Participants thereof within one month and that it respects the commitments it has entered into with regard to other sales. The Participant shall keep available the national industrial facilities used for the production of the launcher and shall not oppose their use.
Should the Participant concerned object to making available, for the purposes of the launch in question, equipment and subsystems manufactured by its national industry, it shall be bound, within the framework of its powers, to facilitate the transfer of the manufacture of the relevant supplies to the industries of the other Participants, and may not under any circumstances oppose the manufacture of the supplies in question by the industries of the other Participants.
