Each SEZ is given the status of an autonomous economic and development zone under a GPP mandate.It operates independently, with its own administration, its own economic framework and its own social order – but is bound by the basic values of the GPP.
It is managed by a non-profit-making body with democratic participation, which is appointed, monitored and regularly evaluated by the GPP.
The special development zones (SEZ) designated in this agreement correspond to the sovereign status „Union Freedom“ (UF). This special status constitutes an autonomous, peace-oriented territory under the supervision of the GPP, the precise framework of which is defined in the side letter.
