Ithe precise wording of the document staying under wraps until the signing bup command officials involved in the negotiations summarized its contents thursday in a background briefing at their Patch Barracks Headquarters in Stuttgart. Service members civilians and their families will notice few changes they said explaining that the new accords greatest Impact is on procedures used to do things not on the authority to do them. Driver s licenses and motor vehicle registration Are typical examples . Military personnel in Germany now drive using civilian licenses issued by the . Army Europe. Under the new agreement the army would Issue a Driver certificate based on an existing state Driver s License from the United states. Certificates would be obtainable even if a Drivers stateside License has expired. People seeking licenses for the first time would have to pay for German Driver training and licensing or get a License in the United states. However the army can set up a comprehensive training program to save prospective Drivers Money and time. 7 vehicle registration and inspection would remain in american hands but the army would be required to submit All registration data to German officials and the germans would have the right to Check on Post . Vehicle inspection procedures. The negotiators made no changes to the 1959 supplementary agreements passages governing military retail outlets mail service medical services exemption from German taxes and German citizens damage claims against . Forces members. Armed forces network broadcasting rights Wilt not change but the new Accord has a revised telecommunications agreement regulating the use and Cost of German phone circuits. Military training is More restricted under the Accord. Training on sundays and German holidays would not occur unless an emergency requires it and the German forces consent. On other Days units will have to avoid training at night and during quiet hours. The command decided that the new european political climate makes such changes acceptable the negotiators said. The pact lets the military retain exclusive authority to hire and fire its employees who work under a German labor contract but it gives German labor unions More clout in representing those workers. The forces once had to consult with the Union to resolve Only five categories of disputes that number would More than double meaning that managers would have to learn More about German labor Laws. The new document also would require the United states to take specified measures to protect the German environment but this change Only puts current practice into writing the negotiators said. In y nation could terminate its participation in the agreement after giving two years notice. Otherwise it would remain in Force indefinitely
