Poland and the United States have finished negotiating an agreement that would address the legal status of U.S. military personnel to be deployed on Polish territory with a Patriot missile defense system, Reuters reported last week (see GSN, Oct. 19).Under the Status of Forces Agreement, crimes committed in Poland by U.S. military personnel would be subject to Polish jurisprudence if they are conducted off base and outside the course of their duties. Taxation of U.S. troops is also addressed in the deal.
