HQ NRDC-UK will provide for the information of Participants an annual summary under NATO Budget Chapter headings of the Framework Nation's direct contribution to its operating costs. 9.2 Funds made available from NATO sources will be requested and accounted for in accordance with standard NATO procedures defined in ACO Directives. 9.3 Estimates of the expenditure arising out of the implementation of article 8.6 which is not funded by the Framework Nation, by individual Participants or from NATO will be prepared by HQ NRDC-UK by 1 September of each year for the following calendar year and four subsequent years. Before being submitted formally to Participants the military requirements on which these estimates are based will be reviewed at a meeting comprising the SNR of each Participant serving in HQ NRDC-UK or his representative. Thereafter they will be considered by a committee to be known as the HQ NRDC-UK Senior Resources Committee (SRC) established for the purpose, on which all Participants will be represented. The SRC will scrutinise and approve the budget which will be shared between the Participants in accordance with the arrangements in Annex C. Funds made available from Shared Funds will be requested and accounted for in accordance with the Financial Administrative Procedures for Shared Funding approved by the SRC. The SRC will meet in accordance with its Terms of Reference at Annex E. 9.4 Funds made available from NATO sources and from Participants in accordance with Para 9.3 above will be subject to audit by the International Board of Auditors (IBAN).

If not performed by the IBAN, audits will be performed as requested by the SRC. The audit results, together with the Headquarters Commander's report of necessary corrective action, will be provided to SRC members within 90 days of completion of the audit. Documents supporting multinationally funded transactions through shared funding budgets will be available for auditing purposes. 9.6 Funding of the shared element of the HQ NRDC-UK budget will be provided by Participants in a number of instalments as determined by the SRC. The administrative and financial management will be carried out in accordance with current NATO financial regulations and implementing procedures, and any other related documents, to the extent feasible as determined by the SRC. Subject to satisfactory scrutiny of the budget by the SRC, Participants will make available within sixty (60) days of receipt of the invoice and in the currency of the Framework Nation, the amount specified in the invoice being their share of the planned expenditure. Participants will be responsible for bank transfer charges. If in the view of HQ NRDC-UK expenditure is likely to vary significantly from that originally estimated, a revised estimate may be submitted for approval to the SRC. Thereafter an additional invoice will be raised by HQ NRDC-UK on the basis of the Participant's appropriate share of the revised budget. The commander will ensure: a. The designation of the bank or banks in which the funds are to be held. In selecting the bank or banks, the aim will be to obtain the most favourable conditions for the required services and adequate security for deposits; b. The establishment and overall management of all accounts; c. That the transfers and withdrawals from accounts are authorised by two signatures. Transfer authority and financial limits will be determined by the SRC. 9.7 HQ NRDC-UK will maintain a full and complete record of all expenditure incurred and an annual report detailing that expenditure will be submitted to the SRC. If at the end of an accounting period expenditure has been lower than forecast, subsequent invoices will be adjusted accordingly. At the end of the year, if a Participant has paid more than the appropriate share of actual expenditure, the excess will be retained and offset against the following year's contribution. SECTION TEN - WELFARE AND AMENITIES 10.1 Personnel of Participants and their dependants, including NSE and their dependants, will have access to the Framework Nation's officially provided welfare facilities including any deployment welfare package, subject to availability and to the Framework Nation's own national requirements and standards.

SECTION ELEVEN - EQUIPMENT AND INFRASTRUCTURE 11.1 The equipment of the HQ NRDC-UK will comprise all materiel and equipment within the existing Headquarters organisation, excluding assets purchased by NATO or the Framework Nation for a regional crisis equipment pool and those temporarily located at the Headquarters. Upon closure of the Headquarters or termination of this MOU, the Participants and NATO will settle by negotiation in the Senior Resources Committee SRC the residual value of such property in accordance with existing NATO rules and procedures. Equipment procured by the Framework Nation will remain the property of the Framework Nation. Wherever practical, any equipment originally contributed without charge by a Participant will revert to the Participant which provided the equipment. All NATO-provided equipment will remain the property of NATO and be re-distributed in accordance with standard NATO procedures and the Paris Protocol. 11.2 Any equipment procured in the future through the Framework Nation budget will remain the property of HQ NRDC-UK. Upon closure of HQ NRDC-UK or termination of this MOU, residual value or remaining moveable property and equipment will remain with the Framework Nation. 11.3 NATO common funded property and equipment will not be utilised for non-NATO purposes without the specific prior permission of the appropriate SC. SECTION TWELVE - REVIEW, AMENDMENT AND DISPUTES 12.1 This MOU may be amended only with the unanimous written consent of the Signatories. Annexes and appendixes, with the exception of the cost sharing formula, may be amended in writing by the Plenary. Amendments will be attached to the MOU and registered as changes to the original document in accordance with NATO procedures. 12.2 Any dispute between any of the Signatories to this MOU relating to its interpretation or application will be settled by negotiations among the Signatories. Any such dispute, which cannot be settled by direct negotiation will be referred to the appropriate NATO authority whose decision will be final. 12.3 Any NATO member may join this MOU under the terms and conditions approved by the Plenary, through a Note Of Joining (NOJ) to be signed by the joining NATO member and all Signatories. SECTION THIRTEEN - COMMENCEMENT AND DURATION 13.1 This MOU supersedes the MOU concerning the operation, manning, funding, administration and support of Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (HQ ARRC) - Headquarters NATO Rapid Deployable Corps (HQ NRDC-UK) dated 16 August 2005 ("the 2005 MOU"). The 2005 MOU will remain in effect, as detailed in the Interim Period Arrangements (Annex F), as long as is necessary for any activities or payments required under that MOU to be completed. 13.2 This MOU will come into effect on the date of the last signature thereto, and will continue in effect until it is terminated in accordance with section 13.4 below. 13.3 Any Participant may withdraw from this MOU giving 12 months prior notice in writing to UK Ministry of Defence, which will notify all other Signatories. In the event of a withdrawal, the SRC or Plenary (as appropriate) will discuss the future cost sharing, funding, residual value and Table of Positions and other implications. 13.4 This MOU may be terminated by unanimous consent of the Signatories at any time. Upon the termination of this MOU the financial consequences resulting there from, including the determination of the residual value of the infrastructure, facilities and equipment subject to shared funding, will be settled by negotiation between the Participants.

ANNEX A HQ NRDC-UK MANNING ORGANISATION PRINCIPLES a. The HQ is open to the participation of all NATO members if they so choose, during peacetime, crisis and operations even if they do not have forces affiliated. b. The Plenary proposes, inter alia, degree of multinationality, joining of new members and changes in the Table of positions in accordance with this MOU. c. Changes in the organic structure are to be approved by the Plenary. d. The Manning Table shows the total number of posts authorised by the Participants on a permanent basis. The Essential Augmentee Nucleus (EAN) are posts common to both the Operational and Crises Establishments. The EAN enables the HQ NRDC-UK to provide full capability across all staff branches on a 24 hour / 7 day week basis without further augmentation for up to a 6 month period for the majority of Crisis Response Operations (CRO)3. EAN posts are flagged to nations to provide an assurance of sustainability on operations, which is not dependent on the SOR process. Whether a nation is requested to provide an EAN post holder for an operational deployment will depend on the nature of the mission. However, an operation which requires the full deployment of the HQ NRDC-UK is likely to require the majority of EAN post holders. EAN post holders should normally train with HQ NRDC-UK once per year. APPENDICES Appendix 1: HQ NRDC-UK Organisation. Appendix 2: Approved Manning Table (Permanent posts and EAN). 3 A high intensity combat operation involving HQ ARRC in the command of 4 divisions and up to 20 combat support and combat service support formations will require HQ ARRC to be augmented by its full OE. ANNEX B RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE FRAMEWORK NATION FRAMEWORK NATION 1. The Framework Nation will provide and bear the cost of the following services and functions to HQ NRDC-UK, in accordance with the Framework Nations' scale of supply and existing NATO standards where applicable, or as separately agreed by the HQ NRDC-UK Senior Resources Committee/Plenary (as appropriate): a. The infrastructure of buildings, their structural maintenance, cleaning, heating, lighting and physical security; b. The personnel and equipment within the Signal Brigade establishment administering HQ NRDC-UK; c. The office management, furnishings, fittings, office equipment and stationery for HQ NRDC-UK, together with office services and operational support services; on deployment and operations the Framework Nation will provide the scale of supply as prescribed by the NRDC-UK Sustainability Statement; d.

In this case the Participant will meet the full cost of rental and any associated expenses. b.

The Mess Committee may set other subscriptions. d.

Dependant children of Participant nation personnel are entitled to admission to the UK maintained school appropriate to their age and domestic location at no charge. f. Medical and Dental Dependants of Participant nation personnel are permitted access to UK National Health Service (NHS) medical and dental care to a standard not less than UK civilians and service personnel. Dependants will be charged for prescription drugs and NHS dental care at the point of delivery. There will be no charge for primary health care. g.
