Et aidata kaasa muusikahariduse edendamisele Eesti Vabariigis, pakub Jaapani valitsus Eesti Vabariigi valitsusele vastavalt Jaapani asjakohastele seadustele ja määrustele abi kuni nelikümmend miljonit seitsesada tuhat jeeni (¥ 40 700 000) (edaspidi abi). 2. Abi tehakse kättesaadavaks selle ettepaneku jõustumise kuupäeva ja 31. märtsi 2002 vahelisel perioodil, välja arvatud kui perioodi pikendatakse kahe valitsuse asjakohaste ametiasutuste vastastikusel kokkuleppel. 3.(1) Eesti Vabariigi valitsus kasutab abi sihtotstarbeliselt ja ainult selleks, et osta varustust, mis on Jaapani või Eesti Vabariigi tooted, ja niisuguste toodete hankega seotud teenuseid, sealhulgas varustuse transport Eesti Vabariigi sadamatesse. (2) Kui mõlemad valitsused peavad seda vajalikuks, võib hoolimata ülaltoodud lõikest 1 abi summadest osta varustust, mis koosneb muudest riikidest kui Jaapan või Eesti Vabariik pärit toodetest. 4. Punktis 3 viidatud varustuse ja teenuste ostmiseks sõlmib Eesti Vabariigi valitsus või tema määratud ametiasutus lepingu Jaapani jeenides Jaapani kodanikega. (Mõiste Jaapani kodanikud, mida kasutatakse käesolevas ettepanekus, tähendab Jaapani füüsilisi isikuid või Jaapani juriidilisi isikuid, keda kontrollivad Jaapani füüsilised isikud). Niisugused lepingud kinnitab Jaapani valitsus, et nad vastaksid abi saamise nõuetele. 5.(1) Eesti Vabariigi valitsus või tema määratud ametiasutus avab Eesti Vabariigi valitsuse nimel ühes Jaapani pangas, mille määrab Eesti Vabariigi valitsus või tema määratud ametiasutus, pangakorralduste teel pangaarve, mida kasutatakse üksnes abi jaoks. (2) Jaapani valitsus sooritab maksed Jaapani jeenides, et katta kohustusi, mis on tekkinud Eesti Vabariigi valitsusele või tema määratud ametiasutusele kinnitatud lepingute alusel, millele on viidatud eespool punktis 4. Makse sooritatakse pangaarvele, millele on viidatud eespool lõikes 1, kui Jaapani valitsusele on maksunõuded esitanud pank, millele on viidatud eespool lõikes 1, maksekorraldusega, mille on andnud Eesti Vabariigi valitsus või tema määratud ametiasutus. 6.(1) Eesti Vabariigi valitsus võtab vajalikud meetmed: (a) et kindlustada varustuse viivitamatu mahalaadimine ja tollivormistus lossimissadamates Eesti Vabariigis ja sealses sisetranspordis; (b) et vabastada Jaapani kodanikud tollimaksudest, siseriiklikest maksudest ja muudest lõivudest, mida võidakse Eesti Vabariigis kohaldada abiga seotud varustuse või teenuste suhtes; (c) et võimaldada Jaapani kodanikele, kelle teenuseid võidakse vajada seoses varustuse tarnimise ja teenustega kinnitatud lepingute alusel, vajalikke soodustusi sisenemiseks Eesti Vabariiki ja seal viibimiseks töö sooritamise otstarbel; (d) et kindlustada varustuse nõuetele vastav ja tõhus korrashoid; ja (e) et lisaks nendele kulutustele, mis on kaetud abiga, kanda kõik kulutused, mis on vajalikud abi rakendamiseks. (2) Abi alusel ostetud varustuse meretranspordi ja merekindlustuse puhul hoidub Eesti Vabariigi valitsus igasugustest kitsendustest, mis võiksid takistada õiglast ja vaba konkurentsi meretranspordi ja merekindlustuse ettevõtete vahel. (3) Abi alusel ostetud varustust ei re-ekspordita Eesti Vabariigist. 7. Mõlemad valitsused peavad teineteisega nõu küsimustes, mis võivad tuleneda sellest ettepanekust. Mul on au teha ettepanek, et käesolevat nooti ja Teie Ekstsellentsi vastunooti, mis kinnitab Eesti Vabariigi valitsuse nimel eeltoodud ettepanekut, käsitatakse kui kokkulepet kahe valitsuse vahel, mis jõustub Teie Ekstsellentsi vastuse kuupäeval. Ma kasutan juhust kinnitada Teie Ekstsellentsile oma sügavaimat lugupidamist.» Mul on au kinnitada Eesti Vabariigi valitsuse nimel ülaltoodud ettepanekut ja nõustuda, et Teie Ekstsellentsi noot ja käesolev noot moodustavad kahe valitsuse vahel kokkuleppe, mis jõustub käesoleva vastuse kuupäeval. Ma kasutan juhust kinnitada Teie Ekstsellentsile oma sügavaimat lugupidamist. Tallinn, 20. detsembril 2001.

Juhul kui ülalmainitud nootide vahetamise punktis 1 mainitud abi plaani ja/või kava soovitakse muuta, konsulteerib Eesti Vabariigi valitsus eelnevalt Jaapani valitsusega ja saab Jaapani valitsuselt selleks nõusoleku.
