2. For the purposes of this Article “international post” means a post identified as such in a decision of the North Atlantic Council or in an international agreement or arrangement.
3. Subject to the conditions stated in this Article, and if the Head of an Allied Headquarters holds a grade below NATO grade OF-6 or an equivalent civilian grade, the immunities stated above shall extend to the Head of the Allied Headquarters. 4. If the persons referred to in this Article are Portuguese nationals or permanently residing in the Portuguese Republic, they shall be accorded only the immunities and privileges laid down in subparagraphs (b) and (e) of paragraph 1 above. 5. The immunities stipulated in this Article shall be maintained after the appointment ceases, with respect to the period of their mission.
6. When in the Portuguese Republic in their official capacity, the immunities set out in this Article shall equally apply to General and Flag Officers (NATO grade OF-6 and above), and civilian officials of equivalent grades of any Allied Headquarters located outside the Portuguese Republic.
7. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Portuguese Republic shall establish and maintain a current list of persons who benefit from all or part of the immunities and privileges set out in paragraphs 1 – 5 above. An Allied Headquarters shall cooperate with the Portuguese authorities to facilitate adherence to the Portuguese Republic legislation and prevent abuse of the afforded immunities and privileges, it being understood that the status is accorded not for the personal advantage of those who receive it but in order to enable them to perform their functions in furtherance of the North Atlantic Treaty. 8. Immunities may be withdrawn by SACEUR or SACT, as appropriate, upon request of Portugal whenever the immunity would otherwise inhibit the normal course of legal process, and on the condition that the waiver would not prejudice the interests of their commands.

Article 8 Status of staff members assigned by other organizations

Unless staff assigned by international organizations or international tribunals already enjoy status under separate agreements or arrangements to which the Portuguese Republic is a Party, the status provided to members and their dependents under the present Supplementary Agreement shall, upon notification of an Allied Headquarters to the Portuguese Republic, be afforded to such staff members assigned to or acting in support of an Allied Headquarters, and to their dependents. This provision may also apply, on a case-by-case basis, to organizations in accordance with Article 1, paragraph 11 of this Supplementary Agreement, upon approval by the North Atlantic Council and notification to the Portuguese Republic by a Supreme Headquarters. Article 9 Personnel strength of Allied Headquarters

1. In time of peace, the respective Supreme Headquarters is authorised to increase the personnel strength of each Allied Headquarters in any one year by a further 10% without the Portuguese Republic prior approval, and may increase further, subject to approval by the Portuguese Republic. This provision shall not apply in case an increase is provided through decisions passed by the North Atlantic Council.
2. During the preparations and conduct of exercises and NATO-led operations, Allied Headquarters are authorised to increase authorised personnel strengths by more than 10% above the level existing on the day of signature of the present Supplementary Agreement (or effective increase approved under paragraph 1 above).
In this case the Allied Headquarters shall inform the Portuguese Republic of the anticipated increase.
3. An Allied Headquarters shall annually inform the Portuguese Republic of the actual strengths of the Headquarters and shall, in facilitation of immunities and entitlements, provide adequate information on the assignment of members and their dependents, including extensions of the presence in the Portuguese Republic of dependents in accordance with Article 32 of this Supplementary Agreement. The detailed procedure shall be determined by the Allied Headquarters and the appointed Portuguese authorities.
