LETTERS

New Delhi, the 17th June, 1954

Dear Mr. IENGAR,

During the course of the negotiations for the conclusion of the Trade Agreement between India and the Hungarian People's Republic, it was stated that the Hungarian People's Republic is in a position to offer for export to India heavy capital goods such as complete plants, Railway equipment, machine tools, hydro-electric power plants, etc. Furthermore it was pointed out that the suppliers of these goods were in a position to render necessary technical assistance in regard to their planning and erection. I am glad to note that the Government of India will be prepared to accord within the limits of the rules and regulations in force from time to time, such facilities as may be reasonably required to enable full use of these facilities being made by the importers.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Dr. PETER Kos,

I write to acknowledge receipt of your letter of todays' date. The

Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary, Legation of the Hungarian People's Republic, 10, Pusa Road, New Delhi.

Dear Mr. IENGAR,

During the discussions for the conclusion of the Trade Agreement between India and the Hungarian People's Republic it was agreed that the Hungarian People's Republic may establish in India its Trade Representation to promote and look after trade relations between India and the Hungarian People's Republic. For this purpose, it was agreed that the Hungarian People's Republic can designate two of the officers of the Hungarian Legation in India, one as the "Trade Representative of the Hungarian People's Republic" and the other as the "Deputy Trade Representative of the Hungarian People's Republic". Consistent with diplomatic conventions, these officers will be designated as (a) "Commercial Counsellor and Trade Representative" and (b) "First Secretary (Commercial) and Deputy Trade Representative" or "Second Secretary (Commercial) and Deputy Trade Representative" as the case may be.

2. It was agreed that these officers will be posted in New Delhi itself and will be entitled to all the usual privileges and immunities applicable to the members of the Diplomatic Corps and that it will be open to them to visit places outside Delhi on official business or otherwise. It was agreed during the negotiations that the Hungarian Trade Office in Bombay which was first established in 1950 would, in future, operate as a Trade Commission of the Hungarian People's Republic and Officer-in-Charge of this trade office, designated as a Trade Commissioner. It was understood that the Trade Commissioner's staff may also include a deputy. It was also agreed that the Hungarian People's Republic could, if circumstances warrant, establish a Trade Commission in Calcutta in future.

3. Besides the Trade Representative and his Deputy, no member of the Trade Representation outside New Delhi shall enjoy diplomatic or cpnsular privileges or immunities but such facilities as are essential for the performance of their duties and may mutually he agreed upon, will be afforded to them. If, however, these persons are de carriere officials of the Hungarian People's Republic, certain courtesy and consideration will be extended to them.

4. It was stated that according to current practice, commercial transactions or agreements can formally be concluded only by the Hungarian Enterprises or representatives specially authorised by them and that neither the Trade Representatives nor the Trade Commissioners have authority to do so. The functions of the latter would, in regard to such transactions or agreements, be limited to providing liaison between the Hungarian Enterprises on the one hand and Indian parties on the other. Accordingly the question of jurisdictions of courts or tribunals would be settled in accordance with the terms of individual contracts. 5. 1 shall be grateful for your confirmation of the above under- standing.
