Subject: Agreement on the Extension of Subscription of the Plan of European Cooperating States Charter

Dear Mr Jean-Jacques Dordain,

In reply to your letter of March 31, 2014, I have the honour to inform, that Latvia accepts the proposal on extension of the term for Latvia's subscription of the Plan of European Cooperating States Charter (hereafter - PECS Charter).

We confirm that your letter together with this affirmative letter of reply, constitute the Agreement on the Extension of Subscription of the PECS Charter, which shall extend the term of subscription of the PECS Charter laid down in paragraph 1 of Article 14 of the European Cooperating State Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Latvia and the European Space Agency until January 31, 2015.

This Agreement shall take effect on the date of notification that both parties have met the necessary internal conditions for the Agreement to enter into force, on what Latvia will inform the European Space Agency separately.

I am looking forward the long term and fruitful co-operation with your organisation.

Sincerely yours,
Ina Druviete,
Minister

Subject: Extension of the ESA/Latvia Cooperation Agreement and extension of the date of Latvia's subscription of the PECS Charter

Dear Minister,

Pursuant to our previous exchange of letters of 23 January 2014 and 5 February 2014, I am pleased to inform you that the ESA Council has approved on 19 March 2014, the proposed extension for the subscription by Latvia of the PECS Charter until 31 January 2015 as well as the extension of the ESA/Latvia Cooperation Agreement without any modification until either the date of entry into force of Latvia's ECS Agreement or 31 January 2015, whichever is the earliest.

If the above is acceptable to your Government, I propose that this letter, together with your affirmative letter of reply, shall constitute an Agreement under which the deadline for Latvia's signature of the PECS Charter will be extended until 31 January 2015 and the ESA/ECS Cooperation Agreement will be extended until either the date of entry into force of Latvia's ECS Agreement or 31 January 2015, whichever is the earliest.

Yours sincerely,
Jean Jacques Dordain
