Commitments resulting from any bilateral agreements shall, however, be exempt from the operation of this article.

Articles 1 and 2 do not apply to goods and commodities the export or import of which is permitted only through Governmental channels. All matters relating to such import or export will form the subject of separate negotiations between the two Parties.

Both Parties have taken due note of each others' existing import and export trade regulations, and recognise that either Party have the right to cancel or revise the provisions of these regulations without notice.

Within the frame-work of the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation, of which Norway is a member, Norway has granted certain concessions in the field of import licensing to the Member Nations of that Organisation. These concessions have been extended to Pakistan.

The two Governments agree to give and assist in giving the widest possible publication of lists of goods available for export in either country as and when required by the other Party.

Lists including some of the goods and commodities available for export from both countries are comprised in Schedule A^[1] (Norway) and Schedule B^[2] (Pakistan) for this purpose.

Both Parties recognise the importance of technical assistance in the economic development of a country and agree that each Party shall on the request of the other Party use its good offices to make the necessary services available to that Party.

This Agreement is valid for a period of 12 months from the 22nd May, 1951 up to and including the 21st May, 1952 subject to approval of the two Governments. It will remain in force for further periods of 6 months unless one of the Parties give 3 months notice before the expiry of this Agreement.
