Common use of Operational response Clause in Contracts

Operational response. The Maritime Prefect conducts response operations at sea with Navy and Government Resources, whose action he coordinates at sea. He may call upon resources available from the oil co-operatives possessing anti-pollution equipment (e.g. FOST, OSRL). He may request resources available within the context of bilateral agreements (Manche Plan Agreement with Great Britain, Biscay Plan with Spain) or regional agreements (Bonn Agreement Contracting Parties). Pollution response operations on the coast are directed by decentralised State services. The Prefect of the “Département” may request the assistance of the national resources of the Sécurité Civile (Civil Emergency Services) and the Armed Forces. Moreover, he has access to the resources of the local authorities and all those available from government, in addition to private resources, whether by agreement or requisitioned.
