The Meeting adopted a proposal \'C7which \fs22 foresees that agreements will be signed directly between the user Represe\fs22 ntative* and Service \fs22 Argos.\'C8  The note under the * reads: \'C7Representative is a unique Representative Organization 
\fs22 for a country or a group of countries as given in the Global Agreement.\'C8  The Global Agreement \fs22 starts with the following sentence: \'C7These Term\fs22 s and Conditions outline costs to and services to \fs22 be provided by Service Argos of CNES and the (*)....... jointly providing support to their own 
\fs22 authorized users for the location and data processing associated with the implementation and \fs22 testing of remote \fs22 platforms communicating with the satellites of the TIROS\fs22 -\fs22 N series.\'C8  The note \fs22 under the (*) reads: \'C7Quote the country and its own organization in charge of the Agreement with
