treatment''r is self-evident. There is no need to repeat the mention of persons andthings in a determined relaLionship with the beneficiary State and in a similarrelationship with tbe third State whenever a provision of t,he draft, deals with anaspect of that treatrrent that has already been defined. 2L- The Government of the State of Qatar therefore proposes the deletion of the above-mentioned expressions (and sinilar expressions that render the sane meaningwith a slight change in wording) fron draft articles 8-9 and L4-22. One of theaims of drafting is, of course, to express a legal provision with the clearest and most. concise expression, without redundance or repet,ition. Article 9 22- There is another comment, that we must make on t,his article, namely, that,paragraph 2 is superfluous, its purpose being already fulfilled by paragraph Irwhich provides that the beneficiary StaEe acguires only those rights that fallwithin the limits of the subject-matEer of the clause. The word r,limits" herecovers the limits of the most-favoured-nation clause as to conten! and persons,since there is no restriction to content in the text that would call for a secondparagraph dealing with persons. Nothing proves more clearly that the secondparagraph is superfluous than the fact that - although it apparently relates topersons - it refers to lhe "subject-matter" of the clause, which clearlyestablishes that the "limits" of that subject.-matt.er, as paragraph l indicatesrextend to Ehe persons of the beneficiaries and also to the material content of thesubject-matter of the npst-favoured-nation clause. 23- The Government of the St,ate of Qatar t.herefore considers t,hat paragraph 2 ofarticle 9 should be deleted. Article 10
