The Community is prepared to support joint development projects submitted by the Palestinian Authority and other regional parties, subject to relevant Community technical and budgetary procedures.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">The Parties reaffirm that the Agreement forms part of the process launched at the Barcelona Conference of 27 November 1995 and that the bilateral cooperation between the European Community and the Palestinian Authority is complementary to the regional cooperation taking place in the context of the Euro-Mediterranean Partnership.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">Joint Declaration on Article 58 of the Agreement The Parties agree that access to employment will not be included in the framework of youth exchange programmes.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">Joint Declaration on decentralized cooperation The Parties reaffirm the importance they attach to decentralized cooperation programmes as a means of encouraging exchanges of experience and transfer of knowledge in the Mediterranean region and between the European Community and its Mediterranean partners.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">Joint Declaration on Article 67 of the Agreement When the arbitration procedure is applied, the Parties will endeavour to ensure that the Joint Committee appoints a third arbitrator within two months of the appointment of the second arbitrator.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">Joint Declaration on Article 70 of the Agreement 1. The Parties agree, for the purposes of the interpretation and the application of the Agreement, that the cases of special urgency referred to in Article 70 of the Agreement mean cases of substantial violation of the Agreement by one of the two Parties. A substantial violation of the Agreement consists of:</p>\n<div class=\"lf-abs\"><span class=\"lf-abs-num\">-</span>the rejection of the Agreement when such rejection is not authorized by the general rules of international law,</div>\n<div class=\"lf-abs\"><span class=\"lf-abs-num\">-</span>the violation of the essential elements of the Agreement set out in Article 2 thereof.</div>\n<div class=\"lf-abs\"><span class=\"lf-abs-num\">2.</span>The Parties agree that the appropriate measures referred to in Article 70 are measures taken in accordance with international law.</div>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">If one Party takes a measure in a case of special urgency in application of Article 70 the other Party may invoke the dispute settlement procedure.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">Joint Declaration on data protection The Parties agree that the protection of data will be guaranteed in all areas where the exchange of personal data is envisaged.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">Joint Declaration on a programme of support for Palestinian industry The Parties agree that a programme of support will be put at the disposal of Palestinian industry, designed to nurture and develop the capacity of the Palestinian industrial sector.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">The Community extends access to start-up funding and to capital to Palestinian businesses in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. This includes the European Community Investment Partners programme (ECIP), which provides assistance for business start-up costs, such as feasibility studies and technical assistance, and in some cases, access to funding for joint ventures. Loan funding, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises, through a revolving fund administered by the Palestinian Development Fund, is also available on the basis of grants provided by the Community. The European Investment Bank extends loan funding and risk capital to Palestinian business through local banks.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">The Community has established the Centre for Private Development in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in order to provide support, training and advice to Palestinian industry, in business start-up and planning, business management, strategy and marketing.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">The Community recognizes that Palestinian industry must seek markets abroad. The present Agreement therefore permits duty-free access of Palestinian industrial products to European Community markets. The Palestinian Enterprise Centre, and, within it, the Euro-Info Centre, are therefore available to promote and facilitate contacts and joint ventures between European and Palestinian industry, through partnership events (the Euro-Partenariat, Med-Partenariat and Med-Enterprise schemes) and a variety of other means (such as the BC Net and BRE networks), which from time to time become available.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">The Community also recognizes that Palestinian industry has suffered from a lack of basic economic infrastructure. Noting that, in the context of the assistance provided by the Community for the development of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, part of this assistance may be provided in support of Palestinian industry, the Community will consider requests from the Palestinian Authority that a proportion of these funds, as grants or loans, may be devoted to the rehabilitation of vital economic infrastructures.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">In the framework of the economic cooperation provided for under the current Agreement, the two Parties will have regular exchanges of views in order to establish how the range of support mechanisms described in this Declaration, as well as any others which may become available, may most effectively be combined to provide the most appropriate support to Palestinian industry.</p>\n<p class=\"lf-p\">Joint Declaration concerning the Principality of Andorra 1.
