As a capital-importing country we will be obliged, at the request of any other Member which wants to make an investment in New Zealand, to enter into negotiations concerning terms, but we would be under no obligation to reach an agreement if the proposed terms, or if any investment at all, were not acceptable to us. To the extent that investment of New Zealand capital is made abroad, the rights and responsibilities of capital-exporting countries under this Article would apply. Article 13: Governmental Assistance to Economic Development and Reconstruction In this Article recognition is given to the fact that to enable them to establish or develop industries, or branches of agriculture necessary for their economic development or reconstruction, the smaller or underdeveloped countries, in particular, may require to provide assistance to such industries in the form of special protection against imports involving measures which might conflict with commitments to Members or obligations under the Charter.
