- 2 - b) Goods for which foreign exchange certificates have been issued for which no value limits are provided. Column 1: Designation of goods Column 2: Statistical number Column 3: Total amount of goods from 15. Column 4: Total amount of foreign exchange certificates issued by the supervisory authority in Prague. New foreign exchange attestations may be issued after the transfer of the certificates issued after 15 January 1943 to the specially transmitted value limits. It is important to note that ncue allotments have not been made to the surveillance posts in Prague nocl. I have given instructions on the amount of these value limits to be added to Prague, after I have received the reports on the level of the invoices. The liability of the value limits must be carried out immediately at the time of issue with the full authority of the devi- sion certificate. Non-distributed value limits shall not be transferable beyond 31 December 1943. Advances to the quotas limits in 1944 shall be allowed at 37 Y2 % of the new fixed limits. As for foreign exchange certificates issued on the basis of pre-emptions, there is no formal transfer quota certificates yet, it is not to be overlooked to what extent goods for which foreign exchange permits are issued on account of pre‐emptions will actually be imported. Whereas, consequently, it is necessary to exercise restraint in the production of certificates of foreign exchange at the expense of the value limits of the 1st quarter of 1944; whereas this applies in particular to goods whose importation is not important; whereas, however, the authorities for which no value-grounces have been fixed shall be required to reimburse reports of the foreign exchange certificates issued in accordance with the 15 januar; 25817 The allocation of special value limits can, if at all, only be used in very special exceptional cases. Urgent individual contributions, for which special value thresholds are needed, must be submitted to me from case to case with report. A flat-rate value limit of RM 4 O46 O00 (sfrs. 7 million) is administered by the trade department of the Swiss Federal Department of Economics in Bern. In so far as the issue of foreign exchange certificates is requested on the basis of a special certificate issued by the trading department of the Swiss Federal Department of Economic Affairs in Berne, which shows the entitlement of the supplier to part- nakme at the use of the standard Swiss value limit, foreign exchange attestations shall be carried out without any credit against the value limits allocated to the Reichsstellen. Such certificates of foreign exchange must be specifically marked as a "package" in the quota cards and must be listed under the same title in the next quarterly form - in summary (cf. AvE --- D.St. D II No. 1). Decision on the applications accompanied by such a certificate not to examine the German economic situation at the time of importation and to reject applications only if compelling reasons prevent the establishment of Leviticus certificates. In order to prevent the value limits made available from remaining unused, it is requested that the quota cards of economic and economic importance of goods should be checked to ensure that, in the case of large amounts of foreign exchange certificates, advance payments are made on:
