 54 STAT.] TURKEY-RECIPROCAL TRADE-APR. 1, 1939 ARTICLE 3 The provisions of Articles 1 and 2 of this Agreement shall not pre- vent the Government of either country from imposing at any time on the importation of any product a charge equivalent to an internal tax imposed in respect of a like domestic product or in respect of a product from which the imported product has been manufactured or produced in whole or in part. ARTICLE 4 Natural or manufactured products originating in the United States of America or the Turkish Republic shall, after importation into the other country, be exempt from all internal taxes, fees, charges or exactions other or higher than those payable on like products of nation- al or foreign origin. ARTICLE 5 Natural or manufactured products originating in the United States of America, enumerated and described in Schedule I, and natural or manufactured products originating in the Turkish Republic, enumer- ated and described in Schedule II, shall be permitted to be imported into the other country without any prohibition or restriction what- soever. Nevertheless, the two Governments reserve the right to impose quantitative restrictions on the importation of products enumerated and described in the said schedules in conjunction with governmental measures (a) operating to regulate the production or market supply or to control the prices of like domestic products or (b) tending to increase the labor costs of production of such products; Provided, however, that the Government proposing to impose any such quantitative restriction is satisfied, in the case of measures described in subparagraph (a) of this paragraph, that such quanti- tative restriction is necessary to assure the effective operation of such measures, and, in the case of measures described in subparagraph (b), that such measures are causing the domestic production of the product concerned to be injuriously affected by imports which constitute an abnormal proportion of the total consumption of such product in relation to the proportion supplied in the past by foreign countries. If the Government of either of the two countries proposes to estab- lish or change such import restrictions, it shall give written notice thereof to the other Government at least two months before they are put into force. If an agreement between the two Governments concerning the proposed measures is not reached before the expiration of the said period of two months, the other Government shall be free, within fifteen days after the application of any such restriction or change, to terminate the present Agreement in its entirety on thirty days' written notice. 1873 Impositionofcharges on imports.
