    "content": "The Defence Cooperation Agreement was signed by the two Governments on 9th December 2015. It was determined that no additional expenditure of public funds is foreseen in the implementation of the agreement as the cooperation activities contained in the Defence Cooperation Agreement are already ongoing and being undertaken under the terms and framework of the existing memorandum of understanding. Some concerns were raised in the ratification of the Defence Cooperation Agreement that led to a few Members of the Committee dissenting on this Report. The Committee observed that under Article 6 of the agreement, the sending nation has jurisdiction where the offence is solely against the property or security of the visiting forces or the sending nation, the person or property of another member of the visiting force, the civilian or a dependent arising out of an act or omission done in the course of official duty by any member of the visiting forces, while jurisdiction in all circumstances should vest on the host nation. The Committee was of the view that the Cabinet Secretary should pick up the issue with a view to proposing amendments to the same so as to have the host nation vested with jurisdiction in all matters."
