Where the legislation of one Party applies to a person in accordance with any of the provisions of Articles 5 to 9 of this Convention he shall be treated under that legislation for the purpose of any claim for benefit in respect of an industrial accident or an industrial disease contracted during that employment, as if the accident had occurred or the disease had been contracted in the territory of that Party. Where benefit would be payable in respect of that claim if the person were in the territory of that Party, it shall be payable while he is in the territory of the other Party.

(a)

the accident shall be treated as if it occurred in the territory of the Party whose legislation applied to him at the time the accident occurred; and

(b)

his absence from the territory of that Party shall be disregarded in determining whether his employment was as an employed person under that legislation.

(3)

For the purpose of applying paragraph (2) of this Article to persons covered by the provisions of Articles 5 to 9, “territory” includes the Continental Shelf Area or any ship or vessel of either Party.

(4)
