children of an employee of the Office, of his spouse or of his registered partner who are under the age of 18;

c.

children of an employee of the Office, of his spouse or of his registered partner who are between 18 and 27 years of age, provided that they:

e.

irrespective of age, dependent disabled children, or children who are prevented by serious illness or invalidity from earning a livelihood throughout the period of that illness or invalidity, of an employee of the Office, of his spouse or of his registered partner, provided that the Office supplies the Government with a certificate to that effect.

2

Children of an employee of the Office, of his spouse or of his registered partner who are between 18 and 24 years of age, shall also be recognised as members of the family forming part of the household if they do not fulfil the condition set out in paragraph 1, sub-paragraph (c), item (iii), as long as they fulfil the other conditions set out in that sub-paragraph.

By mutual agreement between the Government and the Office, persons other than those referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 may either:

a.

be recognised as a member of the family in accordance with paragraph 1, with the exception that a work permit shall only be issued if permitted by the laws and regulations of the Netherlands; or

b.

be issued a multiple entry visa without charge and as promptly as possible for the purpose of visiting the employee, his spouse or his registered partner.

4

For the purposes of paragraph 3, the Government shall give favourable consideration:

a.

to persons who do not fulfil the criteria laid down in paragraphs 1 and 2 but who are recognised as dependants pursuant to the Service Regulations for permanent employees of the Office and are therefore subject to the social security system of the Office; and

b.

to seriously ill or invalid parents for humanitarian reasons.

Members of the family recognised as forming part of the household under this Separate Agreement may be included in that household on the employee's arrival in the Netherlands or join that household at any time thereafter.
