PROTOCOL.

At the moment of proceeding this day to the signature of
the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation between Great
Britain and Greece, the Plenipotentiaries of the two high
contracting parties have declared as follow:—

Any controversies which may arise respecting the inter-
pretation or the execution of the present treaty, or the con-
sequences of any violation thereof, shall be submitted, when
the means of settling them directly by amicable agreement
are exhausted, to the decision of Commissions of Arbitra-
tion, and that the result of such arbitration shall be binding
upon both Governments.

The members of such Commissions shall be selected by
the two Governments by common consent, failing which
each of the parties shall nominate an arbitrator, or an equal
number of arbitrators, and the arbitrators thus appointed
shall select an umpire.

The procedure of the arbitration shall in each case be de-
termined by the contracting parties, failing which the Com-
mission of Arbitration shall be itself entitled to determine it
beforehand.

The undersigned Plenipotentiaries have agreed that this
protocol shall be submitted to the two high contracting
parties at the same time as the treaty, and that when the
treaty is ratified the agreements contained in the protocol
shall also equally be considered as approved, without the
necessity of a further formal ratification.

In faith whereof the two Plenipotentiaries have signed
the present protocol, and thereto affixed their respective
seals.

Done at Athens, this 10th day of November, in the year
1886.
