12.6 Officers of the Office, and, at the request of ADB, experts performing missions for ADB, will be provided by the Government with an identity card which will serve to identify the holder to the appropriate authorities of Australia and to certify that the holder enjoys the privileges and immunities specified in the Charter and this Arrangement.
