                     The purpose of the Protocol is to bring the Convention on Mutual
                   Administrative Assistance on Tax Matters into conformity with
                   current international standards regarding the exchange of informa-
                   tion. The internationally agreed standard, which was developed by
                   the Organization for Economic Cooperation Development (OECD)
                   and non-OECD countries working together in the OECD's Global
                   Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information, is generally
                   consistent with the current U.S. Model Income Tax Convention and
                   the 2008 OECD Model Tax Convention.
