MOS vzpostavlja osnove za sodelovanje med pogodbenikoma na obojestransko zanimivih področjih. MOS se ne nanaša na zadeve, ki niso v pristojnosti Ministrstva za obrambo Republike Slovenije in Ministrstva za obrambo Kraljevine Norveške. Pogodbenika vzpostavita sodelovanje na načelih enakopravnosti in vzajemne koristi v skladu s pooblastili, ki jima jih dajejo slovenski in norveški predpisi. MOS ne vpliva na obveznosti enega ali drugega pogodbenika iz drugih mednarodnih sporazumov.

1. Vzajemni odnosi na področju obrambnega sodelovanja med pogodbenikoma lahko vključujejo: a) dvostranski dialog o splošnih vprašanjih obrambne in varnostne politike, vojaškem usposabljanju in izobraževanju, b) organizacijske in postopkovne vidike dejavnosti pogodbenikov pri razvoju demokratičnega in civilnega nadzora ter učinkovitega vodenja oboroženih sil, c) sodelovanje udeležencev in opazovalcev na vojaških vajah, d) programe znanstvenega in tehnološkega razvoja, uvajanje novih tehnologij na vojaško področje in v logistični sistem, e) vojaško zgodovino in muzeje ter vojaške publikacije in arhive, f) sodelovanje in izmenjavo znanja o obrambni zakonodaji in vojaških vprašanjih, g) družabne, športne in kulturne dejavnosti, h) vojaški zemljepis, kartografijo in službe za infrastrukturo. 2. Pogodbenika lahko podrobneje določita posebna vprašanja sodelovanja na področjih, ki so navedena v prvem odstavku, v posebnih dogovorih v skladu z MOS.

Pogodbenika pri obrambnih zadevah sodelujeta na te načine: – ustrezni dvostranski obrambni pogovori in posvetovanja o trenutno pomembnih zadevah, – obojestranski obiski predstavnikov ministrstev za obrambo in oboroženih sil.

Letni načrti dvostranskega sodelovanja se pripravijo v skladu z MOS.

Vse zaupne informacije, ki so izmenjane ali nastanejo v zvezi z MOS, se uporabljajo, prenašajo, shranjujejo, obravnavajo in varujejo v skladu z veljavnimi državnimi varnostnimi zakoni in predpisi pogodbenikov do te mere, da omogočajo stopnjo varovanja, ki ni nič manjša od stopnje varovanja zaupnih informacij Nata, kot to določa dokument “Varnost v Organizaciji severnoatlantske pogodbe“ C-M

(55)15 (končna različica) in njegove poznejše spremembe. Glede na navedeno se te informacije ne smejo prenesti tretjim osebam brez predhodnega soglasja drugega pogodbenika tega MOS.
