Article 53 : Special Procedure with respect to Services It is recognized that effects similar to those resulting from the employment of practices discussed in this chapter may be precipitated through discriminatory action by special services such as shipping, insurance companies, and banks.

It arises from the historical fact that such products are subject to violent price fluctuations which have resulted in varying degrees of economic chaos to producers, an unsatisfactory supply position for consumers, and generally an instability in national economies.

During that period the marketing of meat, cotton, rubber, sugar, tea, timber, tin, wheat, and wool was subjected to study, and varying types of inter-governmental agreements were
