Common use of Separate entry Clause in Contracts

Separate entry. Reference is made to a letter from OLF (now The Norwegian Oil and Gas Association) to NOPEF (now Industry Energy) in connection with NOPEF’s establishing a parallel agreement with the Norwegian Shipowners’ Association, wherein it states, inter alia: "After considerable efforts by NOPEF and OSSL, the Oil Service Agreement was established between the parties in l992. The introductory provision is Clause 2.1 of the agreement, which states that neither OSSL nor NOPEF may take part in new agreements that fall under the scope of this agreement, and which contain provisions that deviate from the Oil Service Agreement. Both parties have felt that the provision is necessary due to the many players within the collective wage arena on the Shelf. Great emphasis is placed on orderliness and cooperation through a joint development of the scope of the agreement between the parties." With reference to The Norwegian Oil and Gas Association' letter to Industry Energy, Industry Energy acknowledges that Clause 2.1.2 in the OSA contains a demand for conformity in the contents and editing in parallel agreements. The Norwegian Oil and Gas Association also acknowledges that it has the same obligations in relation to other organizations within the scope of the Agreement. Should deviations be necessary, it is assumed that such deviations must be discussed and registered in the minutes by The Norwegian Oil and Gas Association and Industry Energy.
