Other areas may be added to this list upon review and recommendation by the Joint Community-Russia Committee set up under the Agreement. The Agreement also lays down the forms of cooperative activities. These include: 1) involvement of legal or natural persons (including official scientific organisations or agencies) in the other party's research projects; 2) Free access to and shared use of research facilities, including installations and sites for monitoring, observation and experimentation, as well as data collections, relevant to the cooperative activities; 3) Visits and exchanges of scientists, engineers, or other appropriate personnel for the purposes of participating in seminars, symposia and workshops relevant to cooperation under this Agreement; 4) Exchange of information on practices, laws, regulations and programmes relevant to cooperation under this Agreement; 5) Other activities as may be mutually determined by the Parties in accordance with the applicable policies and programmes of the Parties.
