Ve have the honour to acknowledge receipt of your Confidential
jT
letter Ko«97&-8 of 3l6t ultimo and shall comply with the requirements
set out therein for the future*
(2) The outstanding points regarding idalch we await your advices
are set out below:
(3) Will the Bahrein Government reduce the rate of transit duty
on cargoes hy Ocean Steamers to assist them against country craft
competition and add force to endeavours to persuade merchants to
continue shipping cargo for the mainland via Bahrein*
(4) Will the Bahrein Government levy charges equivalent to the
rate of transit duty only on cargo landed In Bahrein ana eventually
shipped to the mainland. It Is understood that shippers taking ad
vantage of a concession on these lines will. In the first place, pay
local Bahrein Dues.
(5) We have received advices from shippers to the effect that the
Bahrein Government will now permit direct overside delivery In
territorial waters of parcels of 1000 bags for the mainland. As we
have no advice on this point we are maintaining the 4000 hags minimum
per sailing. Will you kindly go into this Matter t
(6) Should the Bahrein Government Authorities grant a concession
on the lines of paragraph 3 we do not see the necessity for the
imposition of any minimum quantity In connection with cargo for the
mainland. We suggest that, for the future, no minimum should apply
to these shipments, thereby Increasing the trade (and the amount of
Transit Duty) ana not confining It to the larger shippers. In this
•vent we suggest all parcels for the mainland should be accepted
