Artikel 13

(a). Bilateral Agreements with regard to the technical rules of application of the present Agreement shall be entered into by the Turkish Government with each other Contracting Party. These bilateral Agreements shall also contain provisions relating to the abrogation of any prior amortisation Agreement and of any provisions relating to that subject, in accordance with Article 11 of the present Agreement.
(b). Bilateral Agreements shall be consistent with the provisions of the present Agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the present Agreement and the provisions of any bilateral Agreement, the provisions of the present Agreement shall prevail. However, the provisions of the bilateral Agreement between the Turkish Government and the Italian Government, linked with the particular rules of application envisaged by the Italian authorities with a view to the application of the present Agreement to creditors resident in Italy and resulting from the eventual substitution of such creditors by an institution which would be designated by these authorities in the bilateral Agreement, shall not be considered as inconsistent with the present Agreement.
