 HAITIANIZATION. AGREEMENT. ARTICLE XV In case of a. probable budgetary deficit, expenditures must be brought to the lev"l of ways and means, either by reducing expen- ditures or by the creation of new receipts. In every case, it will not be possible without the accord of the Fiscal Representative to cover a deficit by calling upon the reserve funds of the Govern- ment. ARTICLE XVI There shall be included annual- ly in the budget of the Republic the amounts necessary for the regular service of the funded debt and other contractual obligations, as well as two lump sums repre- senting five per centum of cus- toms and five per centum of inter- nal revenues, respectively, for the payment of the expenses of the Fiscal Representative, and those of the Internal Revenue Inspec- tion Service, and finally a. lump sum representing ten per centum of internal revenue receipts for the payment of the expenses of the Internal Revenue Service. The balance may be apportioned by the Haitian Government between the budgets of the various depart- ments as it may see fit. If the revenues received in any month shall be insufficient to meet the full debt service and expenses of collection, the Government will make available the amount re- quired to make up the difference. ARTICLE XVII ARTICLE XV En cas de deficit probable au budget, les depenses devront ~tre ramenees au niveau des voies et moyens, soit par compression des depenses, soit par creation de nouvelles recettes. Toutefois, il ne sera pas possible de couvrir un deficit budgetaire en faisant appel aux fonds de r~erve du Gouverne- ment, sans l'accord du Repre- sentant Fiscal.

Le solde restant pourra ~tre reparti par Ie Gouvernement haitien entre les budgets des divers departe- ments ministeriels comme bon lui semblera. Si les revenus re- couvr~ au COUJ'S d'un mois quel- conque sont insuffisants pour cou- vrir Ie service integral de la dette et les depenses de perception, Ie Gouvernement rendra disponible la valeur requise pour couvrir Ie deficit.
