Namen te kartice je identificirati imetnika v odnosu do organov države gostiteljice. 9. Reševanje sporov 1. Vsak spor med državo pošiljateljico in vlado v zvezi z razlago ali uporabo tega sporazuma ali vsako vprašanje, povezano z uradnikom za zvezo ali odnosom med državo pošiljateljico in vlado, ki se ne reši sporazumno, se na zahtevo države pošiljateljice ali vlade predloži v končno odločitev tričlanskemu razsodišču. Vsaka stranka imenuje enega razsodnika. Tretjega, ki predseduje razsodišču, izbereta prva dva razsodnika. 2. Če ena od strank v dveh mesecih po zaprosilu druge stranke, da imenuje razsodnika, tega ne stori, lahko druga stranka zaprosi predsednika Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti ali v njegovi odsotnosti podpredsednika, da opravi to imenovanje. 3. Če se prva dva razsodnika v dveh mesecih po svojem imenovanju ne sporazumeta o tretjem, lahko katera koli stranka zaprosi predsednika Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti ali v njegovi odsotnosti podpredsednika, da opravi to imenovanje. 4. Če se stranki ne sporazumeta drugače, si razsodišče samo določi postopek. 5. Razsodišče odloči z večino glasov. Predsedujoči ima odločilni glas. Odločitev je dokončna in zavezujoča za stranki v sporu. 10. Ozemeljska veljavnost Ta sporazum velja le za del Kraljevine Nizozemske, ki je v Evropi.
