any Contracting Government in the case of a proposal made under 

 paragraph 5 above, presents to the Depositary Government objection 

 to any proposal within six months of the date on the notification of 

 the proposal by the Depositary Government, the proposal shall not be- 

 come effective for any Government for an additional sixty days. There- 

 upon any other Contracting Government participating in the Panel 

 or Panels concerned, or any other Contracting Government in the case 

 of a proposal made under paragraph 5 above, may similarly object 

 prior to the expiration of the additional sixty-day period, or within 

 thirty days after receiving notice of an objection by another Contract- 

 ing Government made within such additional sixty days, whichever 

 date shall be the later. The proposal shall become eifective for all Con- 

 tracting Governments except those Governments which have presented 

 objections, at the end of the extended period or periods for objecting. 

 If, however, objections have been presented by a majority of Con- 

 tracting Governments participating in the Panel or Panels concerned, 

 or by a majority of all Contracting Governments in the case of a pro- 

 posal made under paragraph 5, the proposal shall not become effective 

 unless any or all of the Contracting Governments nevertheless agree 

 as among themselves to give effect to it on an agreed date. 



" (c) Any Contracting Government which has objected to a proposal 

 may at any time withdraw that objection and the proposal shall be- 

 come effective with respect to such Government, immediately if the 

 proposal is already in effect, or at such time as it becomes effective 

 under the terms of this Article. 



"8. The Depositary Government shall notify each Contracting Gov- 

 ernment immediately upon receipt of each objection and of each with- 

 drawal of objection, and of the entry into force of any proposal."
