EXCHANGE OF NOTES BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA AND THE GOVERNMENT OF GUYANA CONSTITUTING AN AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE FOR THE EXCHANGE OF THIRD PARTY COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN AMATEUR RADIO STATIONS OF CANADA AND GUYANA

I

The High Commissioner of Canada to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Guyana

GEORGETOWN, December 11, 1973

No. 571

His Excellency R. A. Collins
Permanent Secretary
Ministry of Foreign Affairs
Georgetown, Guyana

Excellency,

I have the honour to propose to Your Excellency, on instructions from my Government, that an Agreement be concluded between our two Governments to permit amateur radio stations of Guyana and Canada to exchange messages or other communications from or to third parties under the following conditions:

"Amateur radio stations of Guyana and Canada may exchange international messages or other communications from or to third parties, provided:

1. No compensation may be paid directly or indirectly on such messages or communications;

2. Such communications shall be limited to conversations or messages of a technical or personal nature for which, by reason of their unimportance, recourse to the public telecommunications service is not justified. To the extent that, in the event of disaster, the public telecom­munications service is not readily available for expeditious handling of communications relating directly to safety of life or property, such communications may be handled by amateur stations of the respective countries;

3. This arrangement shall apply with respect to all amateur radio stations duly licensed by the appropriate authorities of either Guyana or Canada;

4. This arrangement may be terminated by either Government giving sixty days' notice in writing to the other Government. The termination of the agreement may be the result of a further arrangement between the Government of Guyana and the Government of Canada or the enactment of legislation in either country inconsistent with the terms of this agreement."

If the Government of Guyana is prepared to accept the foregoing provisions, I have the honour to suggest that this Note, which is authentic in both English and French, and Your Excellency's reply thereto shall constitute an Agreement between our two Governments which would come into force thirty days after the date of Your Excellency's reply.

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

Ormond W. Dier

High Commissioner

I have the honour to refer to your Note No. 571 dated 11th December, 1973 in which your Excellency proposed:

(See Canadian Note No. 571 of 11 December 1973)

The Government of Guyana accepts the foregoing provisions and agrees that your Excellency's referenced Note, which would be authentic in both English and French, and the present Note shall constitute an Agreement between our two Governments which would come into force thirty days after the date of the present Note.

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