Who, having produced their full powers, found in good and due
form, have agreed as follows :—
SECTION I.
Article 1.
From the coming into force of the present Convention, the tariffs
applicable on the importation into Turkey of the produce or manu
factures originating and emanating from the territories of the other
contracting countries shall be those of the Turkish specific tariff
which came into operation on the 1st September, 1916.
Article 2.
The duties prescribed by the Turkish tariff of the 1st September,
1916, in Turkish paper money, will be subjected to coefficients of
increase periodically adjusted according to the rate of exchange
under the conditions hereinafter provided.
These coefficients shall be those which were in force on the 1st
March, 1923. Nevertheless, the articles set out in the annexed
Schedule 1 shall be subjected to the coefficient 9.
The coefficients referred to above shall be adjusted in accordance
with the rate of exchange as provided by the following rules: -
These coefficients having been determined at a time when the
pound sterling represented 745 paper piastres, if the Turkish pound
shows an average increase of more than 30 per cent, over this rate
during the month preceding the coming into force of this Con
vention, the coefficients 12 and 9 will be reduced proportionately to
the average rate of exchange for that month; the coefficient will
remain in force, as thus adjusted, for the following three months; at
the expiration of that period of three months, the coefficient will,
should the case arise, be readjusted in accordance with the average
rate of exchange of the last month of the period.
In the same way, if the Turkish pound shows an average decrease
of more than 30 per cent, compared with the initial rate of
745 piastres for a pound sterling during the month preceding the
coming into force of this Convention, the coefficients 12 and 9 may
be increased proportionately to the average rate of exchange lor that
month ; the coefficient will remain in force, as thus adjusted, for the
following three months; at the expiration of that period of three
months, the coefficient will, should the case arise, be readjusted in
accordance with the average rate of exchange of the last month of the
period.
The coefficient 5 may be increased, in the event of a decrease in
value of the Turkish pound, in the same conditions as the coefficients
12 and 9, but, in the event of an increase in value of the lurkish
pound, that coefficient need only be reduced from the time when the
pound sterling is worth less than 5 Turkish pounds paper.
In the event of monetary reform, the various coefficients fixed
above will be modified to the extent of the difference between the
new and the old currency in such a way as not to alter the incidence
of customs duties.
