Abstract
In addition to the general principle of equality of treatment, in the form of unconditional most-favoured-nation clause, contained in Article r of the Agreement, equality is also prescribed with respect to certain other matters in various sections of the Agreement. In each case, where the contracting parties are enjoined to adhere to the principle of equality of treatment, the principle is qualified by some reservations permitting discrimination. This again points to the limitations of the principle of equality and the desirability of discrimination in certain cases.
