The competent German authorities and the authorities of a force shall consult and co-operate to reconcile any differences that may arise.
2. The first sentence of paragraph 1 of this Article shall apply mutatis mutandis to measures taken in the air space above accommodation, provided that measures which might interfere with air traffic are taken only in co-ordination with the German authorities. The provisions of paragraph 7 of Article 57 of the present Agreement shall remain unaffected.
2bis. The use of major training areas, local training areas and local firing ranges by units brougth to the Federal Republic for exercise and training purposes shall be subject to prior notification to the competent German authorities for approval. Such use shall be deemed approved unless the German authorities object within 45 days of receiving notification. However, notification alone shall suffice for units of the forces of a notifying State of up to 200 personnel which belong organically to a unit stationed in the Federal Republic, or which are intended for reinforcement of units stationed in the Federal Republic. For purposes of this Article, notice given to German authorities during scheduling conferences shall suffice. Additional agreements may be concluded.
2ter. Details of the use of major training areas, air-to-ground weapons ranges, local training areas and local firing ranges, as well as the notification and approval set out in paragraph 2 bis, shall be covered by administrative agreements to be reached at the national level.
3. In carrying out the measures referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article, the force or the civilian component shall ensure that the German authorities are enabled to take, within the accommodation, such measures as are necessary to safeguard German interests.
4. The German authorities and the authorities of the force or of the civilian component shall co-operate to ensure the smooth implementation of the measures referred to in paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of this Article. The details of such co-operation are set forth in paragraphs 5 to 7 of the Section of the Protocol of Signature referring to this Article.
5. Where accommodation is used jointly by a force or a civilian component and the German Armed Forces or German civilian agencies, the regulations required for such use shall be laid down in administrative agreements or in special agreements in which appropriate consideration shall be given to the position of the Federal Republic as receiving State as well as to the defence responsibilities of the force.
6. In order to enable a force or a civilian component satisfactorily to fulfil its defence responsibilities, the German authorities shall take appropriate measures, at the request of the force to
(a) establish restricted areas (Schutzbereiche);
(b) supervise or restrict construction, cultivation and movement in the vicinity of accommodation made available to the force for its use.
