APPENDIX F 257 



All future municipal laws, ordinances, or rules for the 

 regulation of the fishery by Great Britain in respect of (i) the 

 hours, days, or seasons when fish may be taken on the Treaty 

 coasts ; (2) the method, means, and implements used in the 

 taking of fish or in carrying on fishing operations ; (3) any other 

 regulation of a similar character shall be published in the 

 London Gazette two months before going into operation. 



Similar regulations by Canada or Newfoundland shall be 

 similarly published in the Canada Gazette and the Newfoundland 

 Gazette respectively. 



2. 



If the Government of the United States considers any such 

 laws or regulations inconsistent with the Treaty of 18 18, it is 

 entitled to so notify the Government of Great Britain within the 

 two months referred to in Rule No. I. 



3. 

 Any law or regulation so notified shall not come into effect 

 with respect to inhabitants of the United States until the 

 Permanent Mixed Fishery Commission has decided that the 

 regulation is reasonable within the meaning of this award. 



4. 

 Permanent Mixed Fishery Commissions for Canada and 

 Newfoundland respectively shall be established for the decision 

 of such questions as to the reasonableness of future regulations, 

 as contemplated by Article IV of the Special Agreement ; 

 these Commissions shall consist of an expert national appointed 

 by either party for five years. The third member shall not be 

 a national of either party ; he shall be nominated for five years 

 by agreement of the parties, or, failing such agreement within 

 two months, he shall be nominated by her Majesty the Queen 

 of the Netherlands. The two national members shall be 

 convoked by the Government of Great Britain within one month 

 from the date of notification by the Government of the United 

 States. 



5. 

 The two national members having failed to agree within one 

 month, within another month the full Commission, under the 

 presidency of the Umpire, is to be convoked by Great Britain. 

 It must deliver its decision, if the two Governments do not agree 

 otherwise, at the latest in three months. The Umpire shall 

 conduct the procedure in accordance with that provided in 

 Chapter IV of the Convention for the Pacific Settlement of 

 International Disputes, except in so far as herein otherwise 

 provided.
