Such further copies as may be desired either by the said Administrations, or by Societies or private persons, will be paid for separately.

The Director of the International Office will be present at the meetings of the conferences, and will take part in the discussions, but without the privilege of voting.
He will furnish an annual Report upon his administration of the office, which shall be communicated to all the members of the Union.
The official language of the International Office will be French. 7. The present Final Protocol, which shall be ratified together with the Convention concluded this day; shall be considered as forming an integral part of, and shall have the same force, validity, and duration as the said Convention.
