What Is A Defense Cooperation Agreement

3. In accordance with Article Two(2) of this Agreement, appropriate agreements on the safety of ships on board ships shall be concluded by mutual agreement between the respective authorities of the United States Navy and the Spanish Navy. Since high-level States disclose valuable information about their reliability and the type of agreements they are willing to sign, cooperation with these partners, ceteris paribus, poses fewer problems of coordination and cooperation. This information mechanism produces an observable privileged binding effect. 3. Where appropriate lines cannot be provided through a Spanish agency, the armed forces of the United States may, with the prior authorization of the Standing Committee, install lines, networks and other cable communication systems for military purposes. The non-removable property referred to in Article nineteen(1) of the Agreement shall become the property of the Spanish Armed Forces, without prejudice to its use by the Armed Forces of the United States and the responsibility of the Armed Forces of the United States for its maintenance in accordance with Chapters II and III of the Agreement. These wires, networks and cable systems can be integrated by mutual agreement into the lines of the Spanish Armed Forces. Third, DHA typically establish bilateral committees, working groups, and other mechanisms to promote cooperation. The Franco-Indian DCA has created the High Committee for Defence Cooperation, which is responsible for „defining, organizing and coordinating bilateral cooperation activities“. Footnote 17 Many DHA also require signatories to develop annual defence cooperation plans detailing outstanding summits, strategic objectives, exercises, exchanges and treaties. An illustrative document DCA 2011 between the Czech Republic and the Republic of Moldova states: „The Parties shall draw up and approve bilateral cooperation plans each year“, which „shall be drawn up no later than 1 December of the current year“.

Footnote 18 2. The arrangements for participation referred to in Article eighteen (1) and the arrangements for the exchange of knowledge shall be laid down in mutually agreed agreements. .
