I-IV 



The Representatives agree, without prejudice to the rights of Gov- 

 ernments to make such arrangements as they may deem necessary to 

 further the objectives of scientific co-operation set forth in the 

 Treaty: [3] 



(1) that the free exchange of information and views among sci- 

 entists participating in SCAR, and the recommendations concern- 

 ing scientific programmes and co-operation formulated by this 

 body constitute a most valuable contribution to international sci- 

 entific co-operation in Antarctica ; 



(2) that since these activities of SCAR constitute the kind of 

 activity contemplated in Article III of the Treaty, SCAR should 

 be encouraged to continue this advisory work which has so effec- 

 tively facilitated international co-operation in scientific investi- 

 gation. 



I-V 



The Representatives recommend to their Governments that they 

 should individually encourage the work of international organisations 

 having a scientific or technical interest in Antarctica, including the 

 specialised agencies of the United Nations, and should promote on a 

 bilateral basis the establishment and development of co-operative 

 working relations with these organisations. 



In this connection, the Representatives take note of the letter to the 

 Minister of State for External Affairs of Australia from the Secre- 

 tary-General of the World Meteorological Organisation dated 28 June 

 1961, [*] circulated at the Meeting. They w^elcome the offer made by the 

 World Meteorological Organisation of co-operation in questions of 

 meteorology and of the collection and relaying of meteorological data 

 in the Antarctic, and recommend to their Governments that they 

 should establish co-operation in these matters through their Repre- 

 sentatives in that Organisation. 



I-VI 



The Representatives recommend to their Governments that informa- 

 tion furnished in accordance with Article VII paragraph 5 should be 

 exchanged between Governments through diplomatic channels as 

 early in each year as possible, and in any case before the end of Novem- 

 ber each year, and should include — 



(1) the names, types, numbers, descriptions and armaments of 

 ships, aircraft and other vehicles, introduced, or to be introduced 

 into Antarctica, and information on military equipment, if any, 

 and its location in Antarctica ; 



(2) dates of expeditions leaving for, and arriving in, Antarc- 

 tica, duration of stay, itinerary to and from Antarctica and routes 

 followed within Antarctica; 



(3) the names, location and date of opening of the Party's bases 

 and subsidiary stations established or planned to be established 

 in Antarctica, listed according to whether they are for summer 

 and/or winter operations ;
