Artikel 57
Aanvullende Overeenkomst bij het Verdrag tussen de Staten die partij zijn bij het Noordatlantische Verdrag nopens de rechtspositie van hun krijgsmachten, met betrekking tot de in de Bondsrepubliek Duitsland gestationeerde buitenlandse krijgsmachten
1. a) A force, a civilian component, their members and dependents shall, subject to the approval of the Federal Government, have the right to enter the Federal Republic or to move within and over the Federal territory in vehicles, vessels and aircraft; transports and other movements within the scope of German legal provisions, including the present Agreement and other international agreements to which the Federal Republic and one or more of the sending States are party, as well as related technical arrangements and procedures, shall be deemed to be approved. Insofar as special permits and exceptional permits as well as exemptions from legal provisions governing the transport of hazardous material are required for military movements and transports, they shall be obtained by the competent agencies of the German Armed Forces.
b) The competent agencies of the German Armed Forces shall co-ordinate the representation of the military interests of the forces in traffic matters vis-a-vis civilian authorities. They shall also co-ordinate the execution of militaire traffic movements of the sending States with each other and with civilian traffic. The manner and extent of such co-ordination shall be arranged between the authorities of the forces and the German Armed Forces. Where such arrangements have not been concluded, the forces shall notify military movements by road and by rail to the competent agencies of the German Armed Forces. In respect of military air traffic, normal procedures shall apply.
2. The operating rights of the German railways shall remain unaffected. The registration and movement of freight cars and passenger cars of a force as well as the admittance of locomotives of the force shall be governed by registration contracts or administrative agreements to be concluded between the authorities of the force and the German railway authorities.
3. A force, a civilian component, their members and dependents shall, unless otherwise provided in the present Agreement, observe German traffic regulations, including regulations concerning behaviour at the scene of an accident, as well as regulations on the transport of hazardous material. Observance of such regulations shall be supervised by the competent authorities. In order to facilitate the control of the observance of these regulations, this supervision may be conducted jointly. The conduct of such supervision may be regulated by local arrangements. Existing arrangements shall continue to apply unless revised.
4. a) Deviations from German regulations governing conduct in road traffic shall be permitted to a force in accordance with German law. In the event of future changes in German laws or regulations concerning road traffic, deviations required by military exigency shall take place in accordance with procedures agreed between the authorities of a force and the competent German authorities.
b) Agreements shall be concluded between the authorities of a force and the German authorities regarding the designation and use of a road network for military traffic by vehicles and trailers, the dimensions, axle loads, total weight or number of which exceed limitations under German traffic regulations. The operation of such vehicles and trailers on roads not within the agreed network shall be carried out only with the permission of the competent German authorities. In case of accidents, catastrophes, state of emergency or by prior agreement between the authorities concerned, permission of the competent German authorities is not necessary.
5. The authorities of the sending State shall observe basic German transportation safety regulations. Within that framework, they may apply their own standards to the design, construction and equipment of vehicles, trailers, inland water vessels or aircraft. The German authorities and the authorities of the force shall consult closely on the implementation of this provision.
6. A force and a civilian component shall be allowed to use civilian airfields and other landing areas not made available for their exclusive use for landing military aircraft only in cases of emergency or in accordance with administrative agreements or other arrangements concluded with the competent German authorities.
7. Vervallen.
8. All air traffic control and related communications systems developed and operated by the German authorities and by the authorities of the forces shall be co-ordinated to the extent necessary to ensure air traffic safety and the common defence.
