Memorandum attached to the Protocol.

WITH regard to the instructions in the Convention that, if the south-western source should not be found to be identical with the point (F), "the boundary will follow a straight line from (F) to the said source."

The Commissioners agreed that, as the point (F) was found to be so close to the south-western branch of the Chizinga, the intention of the Convention would be better carried out by taking the boundary straight to the source, and then along the thalweg,

than by taking it, according to the strict letter of the Convention, to (F), and then back to the source, and then along the thalweg, which, as will be evident from the map, would make an extremely bad boundary.

EXCHANGE OF NOTES between Great Britain and Greece recording an Agreement between the respective Governments relating to Commercial Travellers' Samples. - Athens, April 3, 1914.†

(No. 1.)-The Greek Minister for Foreign Affairs to His Britannic Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Athens.

(Translation.)

M. LE MINISTRE,

Athens, March 21 (April 3), 1914. I HAVE the honour to inform your Excellency that the Royal Government accepts the following Agreement on the subject of the customs treatment of commercial travellers' samples brought into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and into Greece.

In order to facilitate as far as possible the clearance of the said samples, the two Governments agree as follows:

Articles liable to customs duties, which are brought as samples by merchants, manufacturers, and commercial travellers, shall reciprocally be admitted free of import and export duties, on condition that such articles are re-exported, without having been sold, within a period determined by the laws or customs regulations of the country of importation, and provided that the customs formalities necessary to ensure their re-exportation or warehousing in bond are fulfilled.

Re-exportation of samples must be guaranteed in either country immediately at the first place of entry, whether by deposit of the proper amount of the customs duties payable or by a bond.

Samples brought into one country by commercial travellers of the other may, after their admission by the customs authorities of the first place of entry and during the period allowed by the laws or customs regulations, be dispatched by sea to other places in the same country without repetition of the formalities of entry.

It shall, however, be open to either of the Contracting * Vol. LXXVII, page 100.

† “Treaty Series No. 8 (1914),”

Parties to require a transport declaration to be made to the competent customs authorities.

No such declaration being in similar circumstances required by the customs authorities of the United Kingdom, it is understood that the Greek Government will, when opportunity offers, carefully consider the question of dispensing with this requirement in the case of British commercial travellers' samples in Greece.

Recognition shall be reciprocally accorded to marks officially affixed as a guarantee of identity of samples exported from one of the two countries and intended for reimportation, i.., the marks affixed by the customs authorities of the country of exportation shall be recognised by the Customs of the other country, and the articles so marked shall be regarded as samples and treated according to the provisions contained in the present arrangement, without the necessity of being sealed with leaden seals ("plombs") or of other analogous treatment for their identification. The respective customs authorities can, however, affix supplementary marks, if such precaution is deemed necessary; and, as regards samples of goods dutiable by weight, the customs authorities shall proceed to weigh them, in order that the weight may be stated in the bond guaranteeing their re-exportation.

It is understood that no distinction is to be drawn between the various methods of marking (leaden seals, wax seals, stamps) adopted in the two countries.

In requesting your Excellency, in the name of my Government, to take note of this declaration and to confirm the arrangement herein contained, I avail, &c.

Sir Francis E. H. Elliot,

His Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary at Athens.
