of which, translated into German, reads as follows
[See note III]

THE FEDERAL MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS
(Signed) VON BRENTANO
The Hague, 8 April 1960
With reference to article 45 of the Frontier Treaty signed today, I have the
honour to confirm that, after completion of the construction works mentioned in
article 49, paragraph 1, of the Frontier Treaty, refusal of passage in transit will in
practice be restricted entirely to cases where valid reason for suspicion exists. In particular,
the smooth flow of transit traffic will not be impeded through the imposition
by German frontier control and Customs officers of such supervision of transit traffic
as would be tantamount to frontier clearance.
Accept, Sir, the assurances of my highest consideration.
His Excellency Mr. J. M. A. H. Luns
Minister for Foreign Affairs
of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
