The Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic and the Government of the Republic of Tunisia, led by a desire to promote economic cooperation and develop trade relations between the two countries on the basis of the principles of equality and mutual advantages, have agreed as follows:
The two Parties shall grant each other treatment in accordance with the provisions of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).

These provisions shall not apply to national cabotage, fishing and tug in the territorial waters of both Contracting Parties.
The Contracting Parties undertake to consider as valid all ship documents issued or approved by the competent authorities of the other Contracting Party concerning the national flag, tonnage measurement, crew identity and other items relating to ships and costs.
Each Contracting Party shall ensure, as far as possible, free access to the market of its own country for goods originating in the other Contracting Party.
The exchange of goods between the two countries will take place under the conditions of liberalisation laid down by their respective internal provisions.
In order to facilitate the development of mutual trade, the goods of both countries, which are of particular interest to the Contracting Parties, are specified in the lists "A 'and" B' annexed to this Agreement. These lists are indicative.
Salaries for goods and services carried out under this Agreement shall be made in accordance with the Protocol on the adjustment of salaries between the two countries, signed at Prague on 3 October 1973.
The import and export of goods under this Agreement will be carried out under the terms of contracts concluded between Czechoslovak foreign trade organisations as independent legal persons or other Czechoslovak independent legal persons authorised under Czechoslovak law to conduct foreign trade on the one hand, and Tunisian natural or legal persons on the other.
The two Contracting Parties shall authorise the import and export of the following articles, free of customs duties, taxes and other benefits of the same nature but not having the character of fees for services rendered, such as:
(a) the samples and promotional material necessary for obtaining orders and for advertising and not intended for sale;
(b) articles imported for exchange where the articles to be replaced are returned;
(c) articles and goods intended for fairs and permanent or temporary exhibitions, provided they are re-exported;
(d) labelled packages imported for filling as well as packages containing imported articles and must be returned by the end of the agreed period.
In order to promote the further development of trade relations between the two countries, one Contracting Party shall provide the other Party with the benefits needed to participate in trade fairs and to organise trade exhibitions.
A Joint Commission, composed of representatives of both governments, shall be set up to supervise the proper implementation of this Agreement.
This Commission shall meet at the request of one or the other Contracting Party.
The date and place of the meeting shall be the subject of an agreement between the Parties.
The Commission will be able to adapt the documents of goods annexed to this Agreement and to submit proposals to both governments for measures to improve economic and trade relations between the two countries.
When this Agreement expires, its provisions will continue to apply to all contracts concluded at the time of its expiry and not fulfilled at the date of expiry.
This Agreement shall be submitted for approval to the competent authorities in accordance with the constitutional requirements applicable in each of the two countries. It shall enter into force on the date of exchange of the approval documents with effect from 1 January 1974.
This Agreement is concluded for the period from 1 January 1974 to 31 December 1976. It shall be extended silently from one year to the next for a new period of one year, unless one or the other Party denies it in writing three months before the end of the year in question.
