BEARING IN MIND that the International Atomic Energy Agency (hereinafter referred to as "the IAEA") and the United Nations (hereinafter referred to as "the UN") and the Federal Government of the Republic of Austria (hereinafter referred to as "the Government") are desirous of establishing a common fund for the purpose of meeting the expenses for major repairs and replacements at the headquarters seats of the organizations at the Vienna International Centre;

The International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations and the Republic of Austria (hereinafter referred to as "the Parties") have agreed as follows:

The Parties hereby establish a common fund, for the purpose of meeting the cost of major repairs and replacements of buildings, facilities and technical installations, which are the property of the Government and form part of the headquarters areas defined in the Agreements regarding the common headquarters areas and the respective headquarters seats of the IAEA, and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and other offices of the UN dated respectively 28 September, 20 September and 28 September 1979.

1. Having due regard to the principles:
   1. that the IAEA and the UN hall be responsible at their own expense for the orderly operation and Adequate maintenance of the buildings and facilities forming part of the headquarters areas, and of installations located therein; for minor repairs and replacements for the purpose of keeping them in good working order; and for any repairs and replacements which may be made necessary by faulty operation and inadequate maintenance; and

   2. that the Government shall carry out at its own expense repairs and replacements of buildings, facilities and installations made necessary by force majeure or by faulty material, design or labour used within the responsibility of the Government in their construction; a repair or replacement shall be deemed:
      1. to be major if it is of a non-recurring nature, taking into account also its cost, and has the effect of renewing or significantly extending the life span of main elements of buildings, facilities and technical installations forming part of the headquarters areas;

      2. to be minor if it is of a recurring nature and is required in order to ensure, during the life span, the good working order of buildings, facilities and technical installations forming part of the headquarters areas.

2. For the purposes of this Article the IAEA, the UN and the Government shall agree on a provisional list of main elements (reproduced in part VI) which they may modify in the light of experience.

1. Each Party shall contribute US $33 333 to the common fund in each calendar year, to be paid in January.

2. Disbursements made for major repairs and replacements during any calendar year shall be reimbursed into the fund in equal shares by the Parties during the subsequent calendar year, provided that
   1. neither the IAEA nor the UN shall be required in respect of any one calendar year to make a total payment under this and the preceding paragraph in excess of US $225 000 each, and

   2. the Government may deduct from the amount to be paid as its share under this paragraph any amount that it has paid by way of advance in the previous year under paragraph (3).
   (3) The Government shall advance that portion of the cost of major repairs and replacements carried out in any one calendar year which exceeds the amount available from the common fund in that year. The advance shall be paid to the common fund in the year in which such cost is incurred.

   In any event, the Government shall be financially liable to meet that portion of the cost, in any one calendar year, which may exceed the financial liability of the IAEA and the UN.

   Income earned by investment of funds comprising the common fund and miscellaneous income, such as discounts and possible donations, shall accrue to the common fund and shall be available for the purpose referred to in Article 1.

The common fund shall become operative on 1 January 1981.

1. The authority over the common fund shall be vested jointly in the Parties. A Joint Committee shall administer the common fund.

2. The Committee shall in particular decide, on the basis of criteria given in Article 2 above, on whether a repair or a replacement shall be considered as a major repair or replacement to be charged to the common fund. Furthermore, upon the request of any Party, the Committee shall decide, on technical and economic grounds, on whether a repair or, alternatively, a replacement affecting the common fund shall be undertaken. The Committee shall also decide on investment of the common fund, the procedure for making dispositions from the fund and for accounting.

3. The Committee shall consist of one representative of each of the Parties, who may be accompanied by advisers.

4. The Committee shall establish its own rules of procedure. Decisions shall require the consent of all the Parties.

Disputes arising from the administration of the common fund as well as from the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement shall be settled in the same manner as provided for in the Agreement between the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Republic of Austria Regarding the Headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency dated 11 December 1957, and in the Agreement between the United Nations and the Republic of Austria Regarding the Headquarters Seat of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and other United Nations offices at the Vienna International Centre dated 19 January 1981, respectively.

The ceiling on the annual financial liability of the IAEA and the UN specified in Article 3(2)(a) above shall be re-examined by the Parties after five years of operation of the common fund in the light of experience in the implementation of this Agreement and/or agreed plans for major repairs and replacements.

1. Ten years after the entry into force of this Agreement, the Parties shall review the terms on which the common fund shall continue, with due regard to the principles that there shall be a ceiling on the annual financial liability of the IAEA and the UN and that this ceiling shall be revised.

2. At that time and at five-yearly intervals thereafter, the Parties shall revise that ceiling, as may be necessary, to take account of experience in the implementation of this Agreement, in particular the actual costs of major repairs and replacements, agreed plans for major repairs and replacements, inflation and currency fluctuations.

3. This Agreement shall cease to be in force with respect to the IAEA or the UN if the respective headquarters seat agreement dated 19 January 1981 is terminated. In the event of such termination the remaining Parties shall consult to determine whether the Agreement shall continue in force for them, subject to any necessary amendments.

This Agreement shall enter into force on 1 January 1981, subject to a notification from the Government to the IAEA and the UN that the procedural requirements under the Austrian constitution have been fulfilled.

Vienna, 19 January 1981

Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the Agreement signed today between the Republic of Austria, the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding the Establishment and Administration of a Common Fund for Financing Major Repairs and Replacements at their Headquarters Seats at the Vienna International Centre. (Reproduced in part V).

The above-mentioned Agreement contains in its Article 6 a provision regarding the settlement of disputes, which reads follows:

"Disputes arising from the administration of the Common Fund as well as from the interpretation or implementation of this Agreement shall be settled in the same manner as provided for in the Agreement between the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Republic of Austria regarding the Headquarters of the International Atomic Energy Agency dated 11 December 1957, and in the Agreement between the United Nations and the Republic of Austria regarding the Headquarters Seat of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and other United Nations offices at the Vienna International Centre dated 19 January 1981, respectively."

It is the understanding of the Austrian Government that in the event a dispute is submitted to arbitration in accordance with the above-mentioned provision, the following procedure would apply.

1. In the event of a dispute involving all parties to the Agreement the same procedure regarding composition of the tribunal would apply as is provided for in Article II of the Agreement between the Republic of Austria, the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency regarding the Headquarters Area Common to the United Nations and the International Atomic Energy Agency at the Vienna International Centre signed today.
