Bemerkungen zu Tafel i

Notes to Chart i

1) Reciprocal treatment replaces most-favored-nation treatment in regard to

nationals, corporations and associations of states, territories or possessions of the U.S.A. which do not accord to nationals, corporations and associations of the Re-

public of China the right to hold real property on the same terms as nationals, corporations and associations of other states, territories or possessions of the U.S.A.

2) Most-favored-nation treatment does not apply to any advantage in respect to internal taxes, fees or charges granted to nationals, residents, corporations or asso- ciations of any third country, "... either (a) pursuant to legislation extending the same advantages to all countries, or to the nationals, residents, corporations or associations thereof, on the basis of reciprocity, or (b) in a treaty or other agree- ment concluded with such third country for the avoidance of double taxation or the mutual protection of revenue".

3) Rights of nationals, corporations and associations of the Italian Republic dependent upon the laws of state, territory or possession of the U.S.A. wherein

property is situated. Rights of nationals, corporations and associations of the U.S.A. to be no less favorable than those which the state, territory or possession of the U.S.A. in which national is domiciled or corporation or association organized

accords to nationals, corporations and associations of the Italian Republic. However, the Italian Republic is not obligated to accord rights and privileges which are more extensive than those accorded to nationals, corporations and associations of the Italian Republic. (Standard of reciprocity not to operate beyond level of na- tional treatment standard).

4) Each High Contracting Party reserved rights similar to those contained in 3) supra, with the addition of the right to ". . . accord to its own nationals and to residents of contiguous countries more favorable exemptions of a personal nature than are accorded to other nonresident persons".

5) Non-contingent standard. (Minimum standards of international law).

6) "... except as to taxes in connection with the acquisition of real property (including estates and interests therein)."

7) Subject to limitations: (a) nationals and companies of Greece subject to the law of the state, territory or possession of the U.S.A. wherein the property is located; (b) nationals and companies of the U.S.A. subject to restrictions which Greece may consider necessary in specific frontier and coastal areas.

8) Each Party reserves the right: (a) to extend advantages to nationals, residents and companies to third countries on the basis of reciprocity, if such advantages are similarly extended to nationals, residents and companies of the other Party. (It appears that this provision is unnecessary since the most-favored-nation treat- ment clause would automatically cause the advantages to be extended to the other Party); (b) to accord special advantages in agreements for the avoidance of double taxation or the mutual protection of revenue; (c) to accord more favorable exemp- tions of a personal nature with respect to income taxes and inheritance taxes to each Party's own nationals and residents of contiguous countries.

9) Provided, however, that reciprocal treatment replaces national treatment under circumstances contained in 1) supra.

10) Subject to the limitations contained in 8) supra.

11) Provided, however, that reciprocal treatment replaces national treatment under circumstances contained in 1) supra.

12) Each Party reserves the rights contained in 8) supra. (In this treaty the unnecessary clause, ". . . if such advantages are similarly extended to nationals, residents and companies of the other Party . . ." is omitted).
