(Translation)
The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic declares in accordance with Article 21, paragraph 1, sub-paragraph a, of the Convention on the Law Applicable to Contracts for the International Sale of Goods that it will not apply the Convention in accordance with sub-paragraph b of Article 1 in all other cases involving a choice between the laws of different States, unless such a choice arises solely from a stipulation by the parties as to the applicable law, even if accompanied by a choice of court or arbitration.
The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic declares also in accordance with Article 21, paragraph 1, sub-paragraph b, of the Convention on the Law Applicable to Contracts for the International Sale of Goods that it will not apply paragraph 3 of Article 8 under which Article by way of exception, where, in the light of the circumstances as a whole, for instance any business relations between the parties, the contract is manifestly more closely connected with a law which is not the law which would otherwise be applicable to the contract under paragraphs 1 or 2 of Article 8, the contract is governed by that other law, except where neither party to the contract has his place of business in a State which has made a reservation provided for under this sub-paragraph.
