No. 35

The Honourable Paul Martin,
Secretary of State for External Affairs,
Ottawa

Sir,

I have the honour to propose the conclusion of an agreement between the Government of Denmark and the Government of Canada for the mutual recognition of certificates of registry or other national documents denoting tonnage of merchant ships, the agreement to be in the following terms:

Canadian ships furnished with certificates of registry or other national documents denoting tonnage, duly issued by the competent authorities of Canada, shall be deemed by the Danish authorities, without remeasurement of the ships, to be of the tonnage denoted in those certificates or documents;

similarly ships registered in Denmark and furnished with certificates of registry or other national documents denoting tonnage duly issued by the competent authorities of Denmark shall be deemed by the authorities of Canada, without remeasurement of the ships, to be of the tonnage denoted in those certificates or documents;

either Government may terminate the present Agreement by giving a notification in writing to the other. Such notification shall take effect twelve months after the day of its receipt.

If the above proposal is acceptable to the Government of Canada, I have the honour to suggest that this Note, together with your reply to that effect, shall constitute an agreement between our two Governments on this subject, which shall come into effect sixty days following the date of your reply.

I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.

John Knox
