Article 2.
(Because of the items “ spirits ” in paragraph 1 and “ manufactured goods ”, in para¬
graph 7.)
Article 3.
(Because of the phrase “ of whatever weight ”, in paragraph 1.)
Article 7.
(Because of the preferential treatment provided in paragraph 3 of this article for
foreigners as compared with nationals in the matter of taxes, duties or charges payable to
any public authority.)
M. Borberg (Denmark) also wished to consult his Government (on account of the omission
from Article 1 of the reference to excise duties appearing in the draft).
M. Bagli (Italy) stated that he understood paragraph 3 of Article 7 as not excluding, for
Italy, the possibility of levying stamp duties in cases in which they are at present payable,
nationals and foreigners being treated alike, when special authorisations are given under the
conditions laid down in paragraph 2 of Article 7.
M. Borberg (Denmark), M. Kulski (Poland), Mr. May (United States of America) and
M. Yokoyama (Japan), as regards Article 5, wish to consult their Governments because this
provision did not appear in the draft which was submitted to them for consideration.
M. RadimskY (Czechoslovakia) makes the same reserve as regards the application of this
provision to Article 4.
II.
The undersigned delegates recommend that the Economic Committee of the League of Nations,
in consultation with the Educational Cinematographic Institute at Rome, should, while pursuing
the studies which it has undertaken in the matter of international tourist traffic, examine the
possibility of extending the benefit of import duties exemption to films despatched by the
recognised tourist organisations of the different States, when such films are of the same nature
as the printed matter intended for tourist propaganda, referred to in Article 4.
They further recommend that a similar study should be made in regard to photographs,
transparencies, etc., despatched by the organisations, and also in regard to tourist forms
(“ carnets ”, triptychs, etc.) and propaganda publications of general interest, even if these contain
a small amount of advertising matter.
