The arrangements for settlement between associations, undertakings and organisations (hereinafter referred to as "organisations') of the CSSR and the USSR in the implementation of the agreements of 4 November 1986, which are based on the use of transferable rubles in accordance with the Agreement on multilateral settlement in transferable rubles and establishing the MBHS of 22 October 1963, the Protocols thereto of 18 December 1970 and 23 November 1977, shall be supplemented by the possibility of settlement in the national currencies of the Contracting Parties.
The accounts and payments in the national currency of the States of the Contracting Parties may be made by CSSR and the USSR, which have concluded a direct relationship agreement between them, or are implementing an agreement establishing a joint Czechoslovak-Soviet enterprise, an international association, or an organisation.
Decisions on the use in settlement between the cooperating CSSR organisations and the USSR of the national currencies of the Contracting Parties in the implementation of the agreements of 4 November 1986 shall be taken by those organisations by mutual agreement.
The accounting for supplies of goods and services provided under direct relations shall be made in the national currency of the State of the Contracting Party whose organisation supplies the goods or services. For joint ventures, international associations and organisations, transfers of funds not linked to the supply of goods and services shall be made in the agreed national currency of the States of the Contracting Parties.
The settlement of operations under this Agreement shall take place through the Czechoslovak Commercial Bank, a. s. and the Bank for Foreign Economic Activities of the USSR. Those banks negotiate the terms and conditions for clearing and keeping accounts in national currencies for direct relations, as well as the way in which the balance is remunerated and settled.
The Parties shall guarantee the free sale of the relevant currency by the CSSR and the USSR organisations making payments in national currency under this Agreement on the basis of the conversion rates referred to in Article 7 of this Agreement.

If necessary, the competent authorities of the CSSR and the USSR may agree to use other mutually agreed rates (coefficients).
In the event of the creation of a long-term active balance of one of the Contracting Parties, the competent authorities shall agree on the method of settlement, taking into account the achievement of the overall balance of settlement in national currencies.
