 62 STAT.] SPAIN-AIR TRANSPORT SERVICES -12 1944083 Translation MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS P.E. No. 200 NOTE VERBALE The Ministry of Foreign Affairs presents its compliments to the Embassy of the United States of America, and, in reply to the Em- bassy's Note Verbale No. 1626 of February 21 last, has the honor to Ante, p. 401. inform it that the Spanish Government agrees to the new definition proposed by the American authorities for Route 1, set forth in Article I (a) of the "Agreement between the United States of America and Spain relating to the Operation of International Air Transport Services", to read as follows: 58 Stat. 1473. "A route from the United States through Lisbon to Barcelona, pro- ceeding therefrom to Marseilles and possibly points beyond, return being made over the same route". The Ministry hopes that Pan American Airways will be able to inaugurate service on this route shortly. With respect to the second request contained in the aforesaid Note Verbale No. 1626, the Spanish Government also agrees, for the purpose of increasing the safety of United States commercial airline operations between Portugal and the United Kingdom, to the inclusion of the following paragraph as a part of Article I (a) 1. and immediately following the revised route descriptions: "Rights of transit and non-traffic stop are granted United States airlines in the territory of Spain on a route between Portugal and the United Kingdom". Since at the present time the possible landing fields for non-traffic stops in that area are not prepared to render service, the Ministry requests the Embassy to be good enough to specify the points in Spanish territory at which aircraft of the line under reference might eventually wish to land, in order that the Ministry may inform the Embassy as to their present condition.
