No. 31

The Secretary of State for External Affairs of Canada,
Department of External Affairs,
Ottawa, Ont.

Sir,

Upon instructions from my Government, I have the honour to inform you that the Scandinavian Airlines System is now in a position to inaugurate a service to Montreal and that a proposal for the modification of section 2 of the Annex to the Air Agreement between Sweden and Canada signed at Ottawa on June 27, 1947, has been made under the terms of Article 8 to the competent Canadian aeronautical authorities. It is understood that the latter have agreed to the proposed changes to the said Agreement and, accordingly, it would now be in order to confirm the agreement between the aeronautical authorities of our respective countries by an exchange of notes.

It is further understood that the competent Canadian aeronautical authorities wish to take this opportunity to modify paragraph 4 of the Annex to the Air Agreement to enable the designated airline of the Government of Canada to serve routes originating and terminating at any point in Canada.

I now have the honour to propose that paragraph 2 of the Annex to the Agreement between Sweden and Canada be amended to read as follows:

"The route to be operated by the designated airline of the Government of Sweden shall be: Sweden via intermediate points to Montreal and to points in countries beyond-in both directions."

And that paragraph 4 be amended to read as follows:

"The route to be operated by the designated airline of the Government of Canada shall be: Canada via intermediate points to Stockholm and to points in countries beyond-in both directions."

If the Canadian Government is prepared to accept this proposal which would, of course, have the effect of superseding the Notes exchanged on June 30 and July 5, 1949, between the then Swedish Minister and your predecessor, I have the honour to suggest that this Note and your reply thereto shall constitute an agreement between our two Governments which shall take effect on the date of your reply.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Sir,

I have the honour to acknowledge your Note of May 16, 1958 in which you propose that there should be an amendment to the Agreement for Air Services between Sweden and Canada signed at Ottawa on June 27, 1947.

The appropriate Canadian authorities concur in your suggestion that paragraph 2 of the Annex to the Agreement between Sweden and Canada be amended to read as follows:

"The route to be operated by the designated airline of the Government of Sweden shall be:
Sweden via intermediate points in countries beyond-in both directions."

And that paragraph 4 of the Annex be amended to read as follows:

"The route to be operated by the designated airline of the Government of Canada shall be:
Canada via intermediate points to Stockholm and to points in countries beyond-in both directions."

I confirm that your Note and this reply thereto shall constitute an Agreement between Canada and Sweden which shall take effect on this day, May 16, 1958. This Agreement shall be registered by the Canadian Government with the International Civil Aviation Organisation in accordance with the terms of Article 7 of the Agreement between Canada and Sweden for Air Services signed at Ottawa on June 27, 1947.

Accept, Sir, the renewed assurances of my highest consideration.

Sidney Smith,
