(d) The termination of the Convention under Article 14 shall, unless otherwise expressly agreed to by both High Contracting Parties, ipso facto terminate it in respect of any territories to which it has been extended under paragraph (a) of this Article.

ARTICLE 16.

(a) The High Contracting Parties agree that His Majesty the King of Great Britain, Ireland, and the British Dominions beyond the Seas, Emperor of India; may at any time, while the present Convention is in force, either under Article 14 or by virtue of any accession under this Article, by a notification given through the diplomatic channel, accede to the present Convention in respect of any Member of the British Commonwealth of Nations whose Government may desire that such accession should be effected, provided that no notification of accession may be given at any time when the Estonian Government has given notice of termination in respect of all the territories of His Majesty to which the Convention applies. The provisions of Article 15 (b) shall be applicable to such notification. Any such accession shall take effect one month after the date of its notification.

(b) After the expiry of three years from the date of the coming into force of any accession under paragraph (a) of

this Article, either of the High Contracting Parties may, by giving six months' notice of termination through the diplomatic channel, terminate the application of the Convention to any country in respect of which a notification of accession has been given. The termination of the Convention under Article 14 shall not effect its application to any such country.

(c) Any notification of accession under paragraph (a) of this Article may include any dependency or mandated territory administered by the Government of the country in respect of which such notification of accession is given; and any notice of termination in respect of any such country under paragraph (b) shall apply to any dependency or mandated territory which was included in the notification of accession in respect of that country.

In witness whereof the undersigned have signed the present Convention in English, and have affixed thereto their Seals.
