Tfith reference to Article 15, I desire to place on
record the procedure which has been agreed on for the
operation of this articlec
1. If the Sultan desires that any law or regulation
shall be made applicable to nationals of His Majesty, h^
will communicate a copy thereof to the consul of His
Majesty. The consul will post a copy of the law or
regulation in his office and the law or regulation shall
become applicable to nationals of His Majesty one month
after the date on which it is posted. It is, however,
understood that at the request of the Sultan in case of
urgency a shorter period shall be adopted.
2. (1) In the case of legislation imposing taxes or
duties and of municipal or police regulations, the consul
will always post the laws or regulations within tv^/o weeks
of the receipt of the request from the Sultan (or within
a shorter period in special cases of urgency) unless the
laws or regulations are in conflict with Articles 2, 3, 4,
5, 8 or 10 of the present Treaty,
(ii) In the case of legislation imposing customs
duties, unless the law or regulation is in conflict with
Articles 3, 5 or 6 of the present Treaty, the consul will
post the law or regulation immediately upon receipt of the
request from the Sultan and the law or regulation shall
become applicable to nationals of His Majesty within such
period as the Sultan may direct.
(iii) The same procedure as in sub-paragraph (l)
above will apply in the case of all other laws and
regulations, unless in any particular case the consul of
His Majesty submits to the Sultan serious reasons for the
modification/
