C.P.(Gen)Doc.1.J.24.
Mine Clearance
In view of the vast number of minefields laid in Greek territory, the cost of their removal, and the lack of suitable equipment, the Greek Delegation considers it only fair that Bulgaria should have to clear the minefields in the areas occupied by her during the war.
The Greek Delegation, therefore, proposes to add the following new section to the Treaty after Article 18.
Section III.—Mine Clearance
Article (New)
“Bulgaria undertakes, by her own means, with her own personnel, and at her own expense, to clear any minefields in the areas occupied by her on Greek territory.
Mine-clearing operations shall be concluded within twelve months of the coming into force of the present Treaty.
The means to be employed, the personnel required, and all details concerning the execution of mine-clearing operations, shall be determined by the Greek Government and shall be subject to direct supervision by that Government.”
