English Translation
$\}$ Elimination of the customs border to the Protectorate. I. 1./ Political and state legal starting point for the abolition of the tariff border is Art. IX of the Führer's Decree of 16.3.1939 : "The Protectorate belongs to the customs territory of the German Reich and is subject to its customs sovereignty." The merger of the economic life of the Protectorate with that of the Great German Empire and the thereby automatically strengthening of German influence in the Protectorates means the most effective political interdependence with Germany at present. The adjustment of wages and salaries associated with the opening of the border enables the use of significant forces in management and economy.

There is no doubt that freedom of payment is a threat to the protectorate economy, as it is claimed by the Czechs in terms of competition from the Old Reich and foreign competition (because of the change in customs duties (reduction of import duties for bestimate half-wsren, etc.)). In the case of major consumer goods industries, competition from the old empire companies is either completely excluded or severely restricted by the management of war. Intergovernmental trade in goods is greatly reduced during the war. Imports of foreign goods can also be regulated by means of the foreign exchange permit procedure. The sale of this area, which is feared as a result of the lower prices and better qualities of the products of the Protectorate at present, may be effected by the corresponding delivery of the goods.
