The second sub-paragraph was too widely stated and did
not sufficiently safeguard private possessors against
expropriation at the request of the Company. It was agreed that
the Company should be invited either to adopt a wording on the
general lines of Article 4 (B)(2) of their Persian concession or
to revise the first sentence of the sub-paragraph to run as
follows;- "Any other lands, houses or buildings required by
the Company may be bought or leased by it with the consent of and
on conditions to be arranged with the proprietors thereof, but
the terms of such purchase or lea-se shall not be in excess. ..."
(d) The phrase f 'Such land shall at all times be less than
the whole area of Qatar" caused some surprise, but was assumed
to have been inserted at the request of the Sheikh.
4I.V.A.9..L1. It was agreed that the Company should be
invited to insert in the second sentence of the first sub
paragraph the words "subject to the same proviso".
Article 10. (a) Some discussion took place as to the
desirability of fixing a maximum period during which the general
custans exemption granted to the Company should run. The general
feeling of the meeting was, however, in favour of letting the
article stand, particularly now that the Company had to some
extent met us by agreeing t# pay duty on food supplies, personal
goods, clcthing and general merchandise imported by it for the
personal use of its employees.
(b) The question was raised of the desirability of giving
the Company complete exemption in respect of harbour dues. The
meeting felt that as any harbours made would be developed by the
Company, it would be unreasonable to request them to pay harbour
dues. On the other hand it would be worth ensuring that they
vould agree to the free use of such harbours by the Sheikh.
Goods imported by private individuals through such
harbours/
