“Article 1. The Commission, upon the proposal of the Junta, shall decide at its XXII Period of Ordinary Decisions the treatment to be accorded to the investments of a mixed enterprise.

“Article 2. The Junta shall present its proposal no later than February 14, 1977.

“Article 3. Until then, for the purpose of classifying the resulting enterprise, the investments of a mixed enterprise shall be calculated in the same national and foreign proportion as the national and foreign contributions made to the capital of the mixed enterprise; in the cases of Bolivia and Ecuador, the classification of such investments shall be governed by that which is established by the national competent entities.”]
