(g) The price to be charged by France and paid by Italy for electricity available to Italy from the Gran Scala plant (after the local requirements as aforesaid have been met) shall be the same as the price charged in France for the supply of similar quantities of hydro-electricity in French territory in the neighbourhood of Mont Cenis or in other regions where conditions are comparable. III. Duration of Guarantees Unless otherwise agreed between France and Italy these guarantees will remain in force in perpetuity. IV. Supervisory Technical Commission A Franco-Italian Supervisory Technical Commission comprising an equal number of French and Italian members shall be established to super- vise and facilitate the execution of the foregoing guarantees which are designed to secure the same facilities as Italy enjoyed in respect of hydro- electric and water supplies from the Lake of Mont Cenis before the cession of this region to France. It shall also be within the functions of the Super- visory Technical Commission to cooperate with the competent French tech- nical services in order to ensure that the safety of the lower valleys is not endangered. 1424 [61 STAT.
