INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [62 STAT. shoemaking materials, and medical and health supplies excluding narcotics, alkaloids and saccarine; in such quantities as to clearly indicate usage limited to addressee and family and limited to one parcel per month for each individual Italian addressee. (d) Gift parcels labelled "U.S.A . Gift Parcel", shipped other than by parcel post, from individuals, partnerships, corporations or associations in the United States, its territories and insular possessions, addressed to individuals residing in Italy, provided that the weight, content and other limitations as given in (c) above shall apply and provided further that ENDSI is designated as the receiving agency and acts as distribution agent. (2) As regards transportation costs within Italy referred to in para- graph 5, Article IV of the Economic Cooperation Agreement, it is understood that: (a) Relief goods, standard relief parcels and packages admitted duty free under (1) a, b and d above shall be received, ware- housed, handled and transported to designated recipient without charge by ENDSI to donor, recipient or relief agency. All costs for such services shall be borne by ENDSI with funds made available by the Italian Government, and not from the Special Account (Lire Fund). (b) With respect to gift parcels referred to in (1) c above, the Italian Postal Service shall determine its charges within Italy at the rates established by the international postal system. The Italian Postal Service shall be reimbursed for such charges from the Special Account (Lire Fund). (3) The Italian Government shall reimburse the Italian Postal Service for its charges under (2) b above from the Special Account, and shall submit monthly to the ECA mission-copy to the ECA Controller in Washington-a report of the amounts reimbursed, in a form satisfactory to the Italian Government and to the ECA mission, it being understood that each of such reports shall specify the total weight transported and charges therefor. If any adjustment in the amount of such reimburse- ments is necessary as a result of ECA audit, such adjustment shall be made promptly. (4) With regard to duty-free treatment, the terms of this note shall take effect immediately. With regard to the defrayment of postal charges for gift parcels, the terms of this note shall take effect after notification has been given the Italian Government by the U. S. Government that postage has been reduced and charges therefor may then be paid from the special account. However, with respect to the provisions in (2) a above, the terms of this note shall be effective retroactively to July 1, 1948. If the foregoing is in accord with the understanding of the Italian Government, I would appreciate Your Excellency's so advising me. The two notes then exchanged will constitute agreement by our two Governments in the premises.
