Dear Mr. Lall,

As a result of the discussions that have taken place recently in New Delhi between the Ministry of Commerce and Consumer Industries of the Republic of India and the Delegation of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Inner German Trade of the German Democratic Republic, certain conclusions have been reached which it is considered desirable to place on record. The conclusions are set out in the following paragraphs.

2. Both Parties desire to develop and strengthen the trade relations between the two countries on the basis of equality and mutual benefit. With a view to promoting closer economic relations, the two Parties agree to give full consideration to, and take decision on, the suggestions that may be made by either Party from time to time for stimulating the flow'of trade.

3. Both Parties agree to give adequate facilities, subject to the laws, rules and regulations for the time being in force, for the import and export of commodities mentioned in the Schedules A and B. These commodities will be imported and exported on the basis of contracts concluded between importers and exporters. The import and export will take place in accordance with the Import, Export and Foreign Exchange Regulations in force from time to time in the two countries.

4. The two Parties also agree to give adequate facilities for trade in items not mentioned in the attached Schedules. The trade in these items will also be carried out in accordance with the Import, Export and Foreign Exchange Regulations in force from time to time.

5. The German exporters are prepared to provide technical services for the installation and operation of the equipment that may be supplied by them to Indian Importers under the present Arrangement. They are also prepared to provide technical services to the Indian importers for the planning and execution of the projects in which they might be interested. As the nature and extent of such technical services are likely to vary in each case, these will have to be settled, as and when occasions arise for that purpose, by negotiation between the parties concerned, projects Ji of special economic importance being discussed and settled between the parties to the present Arrangement.

6. All payments between the two countries of the nature described in paragraph 7 of this Arrangements will be made in Indian rupees. For this purpose, the Deutsche Notenbank, Berlin, will maintain one or more account(s) with one or more commercial bank(s) in India authorised to deal in foreign exchange. In addition, the Deutsche Notenbank, Berlin, will if that bank considers this necessary, maintain another account with the Reserve Bank of India. All the transactions to be financed in rupees will take place through the account(s) maintained with the commercial bank(s). Payments permitted under the Indian Exchange Control Regulations to be made by residents of one country to residents of the other country will be effected by crediting or debiting, as the case may be, the amount of such payments to the above-mentioned account(s) of the Deutsche Notenbank, Berlin, with the commercial Banks in India.

7. The following payments may be effected in accordance with paragraph 6 above (a) Payments for the goods imported or exported under the present Arrangement; (b) Payments connected with commercial transactions and covering technical services and insurance, freight, port charges, storage and forwarding expenses, loading, discharging and bunkering; (c) Payments of the expenses connected with tours of commercial or cultural nature

(d) Other non-commercial payments, including payments for expenses on delegations on which agreement may be reached between the Reserve Bank of India and the Deutsche Notenbank, Berlin; (e) Payments of the expenses on account of Trade Represen- tations and their branches ; or (f) Transfer to rupee account of a third country provided that the third party concerned agrees.

8. The account(s) will be replenished as necessary by one of the following methods, viz :- (a) by transferring from one account of the Deutsche Notenbank, Berlin, with a commercial bank to their account with another commercial bank; (b) by remitting from the account of the Deutsche Notenbanbk, Berlin, with the Reserve Bank of India to their account(s) with commercial bank(s); (c) by the sale of pounds Sterling to the bank in question; or (d) by transfer from the rupee account of a third country provided the third party concerned agrees.

9. Any balances in the rupee account remaining in favour of the Deutsche Notenbank, Berlin, with the Reserve Bank of India or with another commercial bank authorised to deal in foreign exchange will be convertible into Sterling at the usual banks's selling rate as fixed from time to time by the Indian Exchange Banks' Assocation. The above-mentioned balances will also be convertible into Sterling after the expiry of the present Arrangements.

10. Every possible assistance will be given to enable importers and exporters, should they so desire, to ship by German or Indian ships, as large a proportion as possible of the goods that may be imported or exported under the present Arrangement. Mercantile ships of both countries while entering, staying in or leaving the ports of the other country will be accorded all necessary facilities that may be available under the respective laws, rules and regulations, except any concession made to ships engaged in the coastal trade of the other country.

11. A Trade Representation of the German Democratic Republic will be located in India with Headquarters at New Delhi and branch each at Bombay, Calcutta and Madras. The Trade Representative or his Deputy in New Delhi will enjoy *the privileges of the cypher and the mail bag. The Trade Representative and his Deputies will be accorded all the consideration, rights and facilities necessary for the promotion of trade between the two countries. It will be open to the Trade Representative and his Deputies to visit other places in the country. The strength of the different offices of the Trade Representation and their respective territorial Jurisdiction are set out in Annexure I to this Arrangement. The need for the Ministry of Commerce and Consumer Industries of the Government of India to make suitable representational arrangements for looking after their trading interests in the German Democratic Republic was emphasised and it was agreed that if and when a Trade Representative is appointed, he will enjoy the same rights and privileges that are accorded to the Trade Representation of the German Democratic Republic in India.

12. Commercial transactions concluded in India in accordance with this Arrangement shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of India and the laws thereof, unless otherwise provided by agreement between the contracting parties to the said transactions. The Trade Representation shall be liable in execution of decrees and orders passed in respeest of only ,such commercial transactions as are concluded or guaranteed by the Trade Representation. This liability will extend only to the goods, debt demands and other assets of the Trade Representation directly relatable to the transaction. The Trade Representation will not be responsible for transactions concluded without the Trade Representative's or his Deputy's guarantee.

13. The above arrangement will come into force with immediate effect and shall remain valid for three years from today, subject to such modifications as may be made in the attached Schedules by mutual agreement at the beginning of each calendar year. It shall be open to either party to make suggestions in regard to such modification or amplification in this Arrangement as may appear to the two parties to be necessary in the light of practical experience.

14. I shall be glad to have your confirmation that this letter correctly sets out the understanding reached between us.

Yours sincerely,

LETTERS

No. 1. REGIERUNG DER DEUTSCHEN DEMOKRATISCHEN REPUBLIK

New Delhi, the 8th October, 1956

Dear Mr. LALL,

In the course of our discussions which resulted in the Trade Agreement between our two countries which was signed today, you had expressed the wish that the Trade Representation of the German Democratic Republic in India should keep the Ministry of Commerce and Consumer Industries informed periodically about the use of the rupee balances held by the Deutsche Notenbank in India as also about exports from India to the German Democratic Republic and imports from the German Democratic Republic to India. I have pleasure in confirming that it is the desire of the Government of the German Democratic Republic that the rupee balance held in India should broadly speaking be used for financing purchases of goods from India. Our Trade Representation in India will certainly keep you informed about the progress of imports and exports between our two countries. But as regards the use of the rupee balances, it is only the Deutsche Notenbank which could make appropriate arrangements for providing the necessary information. We will make appropriate recommendation to the Deutsche Notenbank to arrive at proper arrangements with their banking partner in India to give you the information you have asked for.

Yours sincerely,

(Sd.) GERHARD WEISS. Deputy Minister.

New Delhi, the 8th October, 1956

Dear Mr. LALL,

In the course of our discussion, which resulted in conclusion of the Trade Arrangement signed today, we discussed the measures that need to be taken to expand and strengthen the trade between our two countries. Having regard to the fact that firms and organisations in our two countries were not yet fully acquainted with the possibilities which each market offers for the development of this trade, it was agreed that the Government of India would be willing to use the agency of their State Trading Corporation to encourage contracts between firms and trading organisations on both sides and also conclude specific contracts whenever necessary. The Government of the German Democratic Republic would on their part undertake to advise the Foreign Trade Organisations in the German Democratic Republic to establish closer contacts with the State Trading Corporation, India, for fuller development of trade between our two countries. I shall be glad if you would confirm that the above correctly sets out the understanding reached between us.

Yours sincerely,
