EXCHANGE OF NOTES BETWEEN CANADA AND SWEDEN AMENDING THE AGREEMENT FOR AIR SERVICES BETWEEN CANADIAN AND SWEDISH TERRITORIES OF JUNE 27, 1947

I

The Minister of Sweden to Canada to the Secretary of State for External Affairs

LEGATION OF SWEDEN

OTTAWA, June 30, 1949

Sir,

With further reference to our correspondence regarding the traffic rights at Gander I have the honour to confirm, acting upon instructions from my Government, that the Swedish Airlines, operating in the pooled traffic of the Scandinavian Airlines System, are not yet in a position to exercise their traffic rights at Montreal.

I should therefore suggest that Section 2 of the Annex to the Agreement between Sweden and Canada for Air Services between Swedish and Canadian territories, signed at Ottawa, June 27, 1947, be amended to read for the time being as follows:

"The route to be operated by the designated airline of the Government of Sweden shall be:

Stockholm via intermediate points to Gander and to points in countries beyond - in both directions."

It the Canadian Government is prepared to accept this proposal, I have the honour to suggest that the present note and your reply thereto shall constitute an agreement between the two Governments, which shall take effect on July 1, 1949.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Per Wijkman

Minister of Sweden

II

The Secretary of State for External Affairs to the Minister of Sweden to Canada

Excellency:

I have the honour to refer to your Note of June 30th, 1949, in which you propose that there should be an amendment to the Agreement for Air Services Between Sweden and Canada, signed on June 27th, 1947.

The appropriate Canadian authorities concur in your suggestion that Section 2 of the Annex to the Agreement between Sweden and Canada for Air Services between Swedish and Canadian Territories, signed at Ottawa June 27th, 1947, be amended to read, for the time being, as follows:

"The route to be operated by the designated airline of the Government of Sweden shall be:

Stockholm via intermediate points to Gander and to points in countries beyond - in both directions."

I confirm that your Note and this reply thereto shall constitute an agreement between the two countries and shall take effect on July 1st, 1949.
