nsit 18it er- sies Ta~ 970 in of he FREE PORT OF SALONIKI 287 are destined for such parts of southern Albania that are not easily accessible from the Adriatic seaboard. The use of the free zone by Bulgaria and Rumania for transit trade is practically nil at the present time. In the case of Bulgaria this is due to the lack of direct railway connection between Bulgaria and Saloniki, while in the case of Rumania the latter finds it more economical to use its Black Sea ports. The volume of the traffic between the four countries named and Saloniki will be seen from the following table: mn. ad rts '$ ng 155 108 16 34 73 kr] 39 187 t04 77 94 88 IR 81 22 Fo :4 39 30 1 107 a4 3 4 3 )- oe a a 1026 1927 1926 | 1827 (mports into the Greek free zone: From Yugoslavia.___..___..

However, the part of Yugoslavia that can be economically served through this port is only a small portion of southern Serbia extending from the Greek border north to a line parallel with Nish. Heretofore a small amount of transit traffic found its destination as far north as Belgrade. In recent years, however, while Yugoslavia’s exports to Greece by way of Saloniki have been increasing, its transit trade through Saloniki has been diminishing. This has been due in a measure to the policy of the Yugoslav Government in influencing the flow of its foreign trade through its Adriatic ports. It is with the in- tention of favoring Adriatic ports that the Yugoslav Government grants a 10 per cent rebate in customs duties and a 10 per cent rebate in railway freight rates on merchandise shipped through these ports. As was pointed out in a preceding paragraph, all merchandise im- ported into Saloniki must be entered in the Greek free zone, irrespec- tive of its ultimate destination. On account of its limited space, the Greek free zone authorities have permitted the Yugoslav free zone to handle directly certain bulky commodities and such as are intended for Yugoslav Government monopolies. In 1927 these in- cluded salt destined for the Yugoslav State salt monopoly. Cattle, sheep, hay, barrel staves, fuel wood, coal, and certain minerals were also permitted to be brought into the Yugoslav free zone directly by rail from Yugoslavia without the necessity of having to be entered in the Greek free zone. With the exception of 120 tons of minerals, these commodities were for Greek consumption and did not enter into the export trade to other countries.
