for that over the common roads, and also with reference to the Customs service and the repression of frauds, will be established by means of special Regulations which will be adopted by mutual agreement between the Contracting Parties in accordance with the bases set forth in the Appendices to this Treaty, which refer to

1. The trade over the common roads on the frontier of both countries;

XX. Either of the two High Contracting Parties will be at liberty to levy on the merchant-vessels of the other Power and on the respective cargoes any dues, as they may deem expedient, for any harbour works or Customs services. In no case, however, will the dues payable by the ships of either country in the ports of the other be higher than those paid by national vessels.

XXI. The provisions of this Treaty do not apply to the coasting trade, which will be regulated in accordance with the laws and regulations in each country, and in accordance with the principles set forth in the Regulations in the Appendices Nos. 3 and 5. XXII. The exemption from the payment of duty, Schedule (A), cannot be extended to any third country without a previous agreement on the matter between the two High Contracting Parties.

In the event of Portugal levying any surtaxes similar to those in the special Spanish Schedule, products coming from Spanish ports will not be subject thereto.

XXV. The general provisions of the Treaty and of its Appendices, as well as Schedules (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F), shall come into force immediately after the ratification of this Treaty. The provisions which will form the subject of special Regulations

will come into force as soon as the Governments of both countries shall approve the respective Regulations.

XXVI. The provisions of this Treaty are applicable, on the part of Spain, to her territory in the Peninsula and to the Balearic and Canary Islands; and, on the part of Portugal, to the Peninsula and to the Archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores.

XXVII. The present Treaty and its Appendices shall remain in force for ten years from the date of the exchange of ratifications, which is to be carried into effect as soon as possible.

At the expiration of this period, in case either of the High Contracting Parties shall not have given the other one year's previous notice of its wish to alter or modify the stipulations therein, the Treaty shall continue in force for successive periods of five years, until it shall be denounced, on the said previous notice of one year being given before the expiration of the period when it

is to cease.

In testimony whereof the said Plenipotentiaries have signed this Treaty, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms.
