 4214 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [61 STAT. in France, except such restrictions as are also applied to French films. If, through the operation of this plan, the screen quota should be entirely abolished, there will be, on and after the effective date of such abolition, no restrictions on the importation of American films into France, and no restrictions on the exhibition of American films in France, except such restrictions as are also applied to French films. The United States Government has noted with satisfaction that the new measures to be taken by the French Government contemplate the complete elimination of protection when the French producing in- dustry has regained its competitive strength. Negotiation If, in the opinion of either Government, this plan should, at some future time, be inappropriate to the conditions then prevailing in the French motion picture producing industry or in the French motion picture market, each Government has reserved the right to request the other to undertake negotiations looking toward its modification or termination. If, upon the expiration of six months from the date of such a request, these negotiations shall not have reached a conclusion satisfactory to both Governments, the terms of the Reciprocal Trade Agreement which is then in effect between them shall apply. DONE at Washington, in duplicate, in the English and French lan- guages, this 28th day of May, 1946.
