Article 6

1.

(a)

Any Contracting Party which has reserved for its nationals or, in the case of aliens including those who are nationals of other Parties, made subject to regulations the acquisition, possession or use of certain categories of property, or has made the acquisition, possession or use of such property conditional upon reciprocity, shall, at the time of the signature of this Convention, transmit a list of these restrictions to the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe indicating which provisions of its municipal law are the basis of such restrictions. The Secretary-General shall forward these lists to the other Signatories;

(b)

After this Convention has entered into force in respect of any Contracting Party, that Contracting Party shall not introduce any further restrictions as to the acquisition, possession or use of any categories of property by nationals of the other Parties, unless it finds itself compelled to do so for imperative reasons of an economic or social character or in order to prevent monopolisation of the vital resources of the country. It shall in this event keep the Secretary-General fully informed of the measures taken, the relevant provisions of municipal law and the reasons for such measures. The Secretary-General shall communicate this information to the other Parties.
