Ustrezne pogodbene ureditve, ki jih uporablja NCB, morajo določati, da je veljavno pravo za take ustrezne pogodbene ali javnopravne ureditve, ki jih uporabljajo NCB, in za vse transakcije v okviru navedenih ureditev (razen kjer uporaba ustreznega finančnega premoženja prek meje zahteva drugače), pravo države članice, v kateri se nahaja NCB, in da so za reševanje sporov, brez poseganja v pristojnost Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti, pristojna sodišča navedene države članice.
The relevant contractual arrangements applied by the NCB should stipulate that the governing law for the relevant contractual or regulatory arrangements applied by the NCB and for all transactions under such arrangements should (except where the cross-border use of eligible assets requires otherwise) be that of the Member State where the NCB is situated, and the place of dispute resolution should, without prejudice to the competence of the Court of Justice of the European Communities, be the official courts of that Member State.
