German Debts

THE Minister of External Affairs has been informed that New Zealand creditors of debtors in Germany would be well advised to seek by registered airmail, a written acknowledgment of their debts by the end of July 1958. Under the provisions of a Federal German law of 19 December 1956, limits are set on the periods within which creditors may enforce certain debts owed by persons in Germany. These limits may in some cases be as early as 31 July 1958. Most New Zealand creditors will have arranged for settlement of their debts under the provisions of the Agreement on German External Debts, to which New Zealand is a party, but any who have not done so should write to their debtors in Germany in order to maintain the debt concerned. Similar action is also recommended to creditors who have debts of a kind to which, for one reason or another, the agreement is not yet applicable.
Copies of the Federal German Law may be obtained from the Department of External Affairs, Wellington.

Dated at Wellington this 26th day of June 1958.
