I have the honour to inform you that His Majesty's Government in the Dominion of Canada are prepared to enter into an Agreement, on a reciprocal basis, with the Roumanian Government for the waiver of consular fees on certificates of origin in the following terms:

His Majesty's Government in the Dominion of Canada will, in the event that certificates of origin are required to be visaed, not require payment of any charge or fee for attesting or legalizing certificates of origin relating to goods the produce or manufacture of Roumania exported to the Dominion of Canada.
