The Officers to be provided under this Agreement shall be available to perform operational, executive, administrative and managerial functions, including training, for the Government of Surinam or the Netherlands Antilles or, if so agreed by the Government concerned and the Organization concerned, in other public agencies or public corporations or public bodies or bodies which are not of a public character.
2. In the performance of the duties assigned to them by the Government of Surinam or the Netherlands Antilles, the Officers shall be solely responsible to, and be under the exclusive direction of the Government concerned or the public body or other agency or body to which they are assigned; they shall not report to nor take instructions from the Organizations or any other person or body external to the Government of Surinam or the Netherlands Antilles, or the public body or other agency or body to which they are assigned, except with the approval of the Government concerned. In each case the Government of Surinam or the Netherlands Antilles shall designate the authority to whom the Officer shall be immediately responsible.
