1744 INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES [59 STAT. termine the allocation, or distribution for use, to Governments in Continental Europe, on such conditions as it may deem necessary, of such transport equipment and material as may be made available for this purpose by the Allied Commanders-in-Chief, by Occupation Au- thorities, or by agencies of any one or more of the United Nations. To enable the Organisation to carry out this function effectively, it may consult with the Governments concerned on their export possi- bilities of, and import needs of, transport equipment and material for Continental Europe and will receive from such Governments noti- fication of all arrangements made in respect thereto of which they have notice.

Such mo- bile transport equipment shall be made available under arrangements made between the member Governments concerned, with the assistance of the Organisation.

Where such restoration would unduly prejudice the operation of essential transport, the Organisation shall work out agreements with the Gov- ernments concerned for the temporary use of transport equipment pending its restoration. The arrangements for restoration shall be made on the basis of the ownership of the property which existed before any territorial changes in Europe, resulting from Axis policy, and in accordance with any general policies which may be determined by the appropriate authorities of the United Nations regarding resto- ration and restitution of the property removed by the enemy.
