  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the International Organisations (Immunities and Privileges) (Scotland) Order 2009 (“the 2009 Order”).\nArticle 2(3) grants immunities and privileges, insofar as they are within devolved competence, to the European Forest Institute (“the EFI”) and its staff members, board members and representatives of member countries, and to the Global Combat Air Programme International Government Organisation (“the GIGO”) and to its representatives and personnel:\nArticle 2(3)(a) inserts schedule 21 into the 2009 Order. That schedule makes provision about immunities and privileges for the purposes of the persons and organisation to which the schedule relates and gives effect to the Host Country Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom and the EFI. These immunities and privileges are conferred in accordance with that Agreement. Schedule 21 should be read together with the European Forest Institute (Immunities and Privileges) Order 2024, which applies across the UK and confers additional immunities and privileges.\nArticle 2(3)(b) inserts schedule 22 into the 2009 Order. That schedule makes provision about immunities and privileges for the purposes of the persons and organisation to which the schedule relates and gives effect to the Convention between the Government of the Italian Republic, the Government of Japan and the Government of the United Kingdom establishing the GIGO. These immunities and privileges are conferred in accordance with that Convention. Schedule 22 should be read together with the Global Combat Air Programme International Government Organisation (Immunities and Privileges) Order 2024, which applies across the UK and confers additional immunities and privileges.\nArticle 2(2) amends paragraph 7(5) of schedule 15 of the 2009 Order to correct an erroneous cross-reference.",
