NORTHERN IRELAND AND THE GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICA
The Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and
the Government of Jamaica (“the Parties”):
Considering that there is potential for the film industries of each country to work
together on account of shared or complementary characteristics that include the

the availability in each country of film-making facilities, a suitably skilled
workforce and locations for filming,
Recognising that development of such potential will be to the mutual advantage of
each Party, in particular in respect of the growth and competitiveness of their film
industries and the enhancement of their film cultures,
Noting the benefits available in each country to films with national film status,
Desiring to encourage the making of films that reflect, enhance and convey the
diversity of culture and heritage in both countries,
Acknowledging the benefits that would flow from the making of such films and
from an increase in public availability of distinctive and successful co-produced
films, and
Noting that each Party expects from this Agreement a contribution by way of film-
making or cultural benefits, with the intention of creating an overall balance in
film-making contribution benefiting each country and in the cultural benefits to
each country.

All activities contemplated by this Agreement shall follow current laws of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Jamaica, where
applicable.
ARTICLE 12
Channels of Communication
The channels of communication for all matters concerning the implementation of

diplomatic channels.
(2) If a dispute between the Parties cannot be thus settled, it shall upon the
request of either Party be submitted to an arbitral tribunal.
(3) Such an arbitral tribunal shall be constituted for each individual case in the

prevented from discharging the said function, the Vice-President shall be invited to

Parties. The tribunal may, however in its decision direct that a higher proportion of

both Parties. The tribunal shall determine its own procedure.

Co-productions with finance-only contributions
26. For the purposes of Article 4(1)(a), a co-production which does not (and is

27. The first condition is that the Competent Authorities have, in respect of each

productions relying on this Section of this Annex which may be granted
provisional Approved Co-production status over that period.
28. The second condition is that the co-production includes one or more minority
contributions from one or more co-producers which are limited to finance only.
29. The third condition is that:

producer who makes a film-making contribution.
31. The fifth condition is that the grant of Approved Co-production status to the
co-production would not cause the limit referred to in paragraph 27 of this Annex
to be exceeded.
32. The sixth condition is that the grant of Approved Co-production status to the
co-production does not (other than temporarily) aggravate a state of imbalance
between the Parties with regard to:
(a) the aggregate film-making contributions in connection with co-
productions which have Approved Co-production status in reliance on
this Section of this Annex, and
(b) the number of such co-productions which are UK majority co-
