Extract
The three commandants of west Berlin on June 11 sent a note to the Soviet Control Commission protesting the restrictions by the Soviet authorities against the export of certain commodities from west Berlin to western Germany. Under the new export regulations seventeen categories of goods could not be forwarded to western Germany unless special certificates listing the sources of raw materials used for their manufacture were attached to the bills of lading. The commandants considered these measures illegal because they were contrary to the agreements of New York and Paris of 1949 which put an end to the blockade of Berlin. It was reported that measures were being discussed by western High Commissioners at Bonn to counter the Soviet Union's “little blockade”. According to press reports, a reply from the Soviet Control Commission on June 18 asserted its right to control Berlin shipping.
