1951 certain points have been mentioned that it will be of interest to place on record, viz., (1) The representatives on both sides expressed the desire to endeavour to expand the trade between the two countries as much as possible,

regarding prices and conditions through the normal channels. (2) The representatives of the Government of India confirmed that within the currency groups there would be no territorial discrimination,

saving any exceptional commitment in particular trade agreements. (3) The import licensing policy laid down by the Government of India for the period January-June, 1951, goes forth from a Public Notice

for the various currency groups. It is understood that the Public Notice may be amended from time to time. (4) The imports into and exports from Poland and their licensing are based practically almost exclusively on bilateral trade agreements
with quotas fixed for the various products or groups of products. Such agreements bind the Governments of the two countries concerned
to grant import and export licences up to such amounts or quantities as mentioned in the agreements, provided the people of the trade
and acknowleged trade enterprises find prices and conditions acceptable for the goods offered. In respect, however, of the commodities
mentioned in Schedules A and B attached, it was agreed that Poland should treat India as a Trade Agreement country for reasonable
quantities of these commodities as obtainable. (5) The representatives of both sides agreed to give and assist in giving the widest possible publication to lists of goods available

regulations in force. It is agreed that payments and other charges in connection with the imports and exports of goods between the
two countries shall be settled in sterling. Any sterling due to Poland will be credited to the Polish Transferable Sterling Account.

ARRANGEMENT RENEWED FOR 1956 LETTERS AMBASADA POLSKIEJ RZECZYPOSPOLITEJ LUDOWEJ New Delhi, dated the 3rd March 1955 Dear Mr. IENGAR, I refer to our recent discussions regarding trade between the Polish People's Republic and the Republic of India and confirm my Government's
agreement to the extension of the arrangements set out in the letters exchanged between the Representatives of the two Governments
on the 1st June 1953 and the 30th March 1954, for a further period of one year commencing with the 1st January, 1955. As agreed,
Schedules 'A' and B', copies of which are attached, should form part of this letter. 2. I am to confirm my Government's agreement that the Polish People's Republic may establish Trade Representations in Bombay and Calcutta
to promote and look after the trade relations between India and the Polish People's Republic. The details essential for the setting
up of the Trade Representations in Bombay and Calcutta should be agreed upon between the two Governments before the Trade Representations
in question start functioning. 3. If for any reason it should become difficult for either Government to implement this arrangement, or it should become necessary
at a later date to negotiate an arrangement relating to the payments for commercial and non-commercial transactions between India
and Poland, I am to confirm my Government's agreement that negotiations may be entered into at the instance of either Government
with a view to the conclusion of a supplementary arrangement relating to payments. This arrangement will be deemed to have come into
effect from the 1st January 1955 and shall remain in force until the 31st December, 1995. 5. I should be grateful to have your confirmation
that this letter correctly sets out the understanding reached between the Representatives of both the respective Governments. Yours sincerely, (Sd.) JERZY GRUDZINSKI. H.V.R. IENGAR, ESQUIRE
