was concluded and signed, by the plenipotentiaries duly authorized
for the purpose, a convention for the adjustment of the economic
relations between the Republic of Mexico and the Austro-Hungarian
Empire, in the form and tenor following:
The undersigned, duly authorized for the purpose, have agreed that
Mexican citizens in Austria and in Hungary, and reciprocally
Austrian and Hungarian subjects in Mexico, shall enjoy the
privileges of the most favored nation in importation, exportation,
transit, and generally in all things relating to commercial
operations and navigation, as well as in trade and industries, and
in the payment of the imposts relating thereto.
The privilege on the basis of the most favored nation is equally
guaranteed by both parties with regard to the admission of consular
functionaries and to the prerogatives and immunities attaching to
them, and also to their rights in the general exercise of their
functions, particularly in the matter of successions.
The present convention shall be valid for the period of six months,
counted from the day upon which it may be signed. In the case that
either of the parties shall not have notified before the expiration
of this term the intention to cause its effects to cease, the said
convention shall continue in force for a further term of six months,
counted from the day upon which either of the parties may give
notice.
