Compensation Claims Against the Government of Austria

THE Prime Minister has been informed that the Government of Austria has recently promulgated a law for the assistance of certain persons who suffered property damage in Austria either directly through war activities between 1939 and 1945 or through political persecution in the period 1933–1945. Under the provisions of this law compensation may be claimed from the Austrian Government in respect of property damage resulting from the seizure, loss, or destruction of household goods or tools of trade in the Austrian Federal Territory.

Any claims for compensation under this law must be lodged before 30 June 1959 with the State Office of the Federal Treasury for the area in which the property was located at the time the damage took place.

The Prime Minister has also been informed that the Austrian Government has enacted legislation concerning the settlement of claims arising from life assurance policies confiscated by the German Reich between 1938 and 1945. This law ensures that the former holders of such policies will be treated in the same way as if their policies had never been confiscated.

Any interested person must file a claim under this law not later than 30 June 1959 with the appropriate Austrian insurance company.

Further information regarding these two laws may be obtained from the Department of External Affairs, Wellington.

Dated at Wellington this 19th day of December 1958.

A. D. McINTOSH, Secretary of External Affairs.
