ADDITIONAL PROTOCOL TO THE CONVENTION OF OCTOBER 13TH, 1919, RELATING TO THE REGULATION OF AERIAL NAVIGATION 1 The High Contracting Parties declare themselves ready to grant, at the request of signatory or adhering States who are concerned, certain derogations to Article V of the Convention, but only where they consider the reasons involved worthy of consideration. The requests should be addressed to the Government of the French Republic who will lay them before the International Commission on Aerial Navigation provided for in Article 34 of the Convention." The International Commission on Aerial Navigation will examine each request,' which may only be submitted for the acceptance of the contracting States if it has been approved by at least a two-thirds majority of the total possible number of votes, that is to say, of the total number of votes which could be given if the Representatives of all the States were present.3 Each derogation which is granted must be expressly accepted by the contracting States before coming into effect.2 The derogation granted will authorise the contracting State profiting thereby to allow the aircraft of one or more named non-contracting States to fly over its territory, but only for a limited period of time fixed by the text of the decision granting the derogation. At the expiration of this period the derogation will be automatically renewed for a similar period unless one of the contracting States has declared its opposition to such renewal. Further, the High Contracting Parties decide to fix June 1st, 1920, as the date up to which the present Protocol may be signed, and, on account of the bearing which the present Protocol has on the Convention of October 13th, 1919, to prolong until that date the period under which the above mentioned Convention may be signed. 1 Ratifications of this protocol: Belgium, Bolivia, British Empire, France, Greece, Portugal, kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, Siam (O.
