ARTICLE 1
As part of the 1987 food aid program, the Government of the French Republic will deliver to the Government of the Republic of the Philippines one thousand four hundred and twenty eight (1 42 8) tons of milling flour (the equivalent to 2 000 tons of milling wheat) for the province of Camarines Sur, Bicol.
ARTICLE 2
The Government of the French Republic will undertake all preliminary operations concerning the delivery of this commodity which will be transported with its care and at its expenses up to the port of Manila.

Flour will be in conformity with specifications mentioned in the annex of the present agreement.
Its countervalue will be estimated, for implementation of the present agreement, at 1.600 F. for each metric ton.
ARTICLE 4
The Government of the Republic of the Philippines will have the ownership of the goods being the subject of the present agreement from the loading on the transporting vessel. The loading will be reserved by priority to French shipping and the insurance to a French company.
ARTICLE 5
In case this product is not distributed free of charge, the sale proceeds in the internal market of the Philippines will be deposited in a counterpart fund created by the Government of the Republic of the Philippines and will be assigned to financing of local expenses of development projects to be chosen by common agreement between the Government of the Philippines and the French Embassy in Manila (Commercial Department).
ARTICLE 6
The Republic of the Philippines will take all necessary measures to avoid reexporting not only the product received but by-products and similar products also.
ARTICLE 7
The contracting parties will take the necessary measures to assure that these supplies furnished as food aid add to and do not substitute commercial dealings reasonably foreseen in the absence of such supplies.
ARTICLE 8
The present agreement will come into force as soon as consultation procedures - provided by resolutions 1/5 3 and 2/55 of the Food and Agriculture Organization - will have been accomplished. The technical modes for execution of the food aid, as they have been determined by the Office National Interprofessionnel des Cereales, which is in charge with implementation of the aid, are pointed out in the annex which is a part of the agreement; they are accepted and signed by the recipient country as the agreement is signed.
In witness thereof the undersigned, duly authorised for this purpose by their respective Governments, have signed this agreement and have affixed thereto their seal.
