Accession to the Berlin Act (1908) and the Berne Additional Protocol (1914) "subject to the conditions and reservations stipulated in Article 14 of the Commercial Convention signed at Lausanne on July 24, 1923". This Commercial Convention provided for the accession of Turkey to the Berne Convention and to the Additional Protocol of 1914, subject to "such reservation as Turkey might formulate concerning the provisions of the aforementioned Convention and Protocol, with reference to the right of translation in the Turkish language, if the other signatory Powers of the Convention and Protocol have not themselves opposed the said reservation in the course of the year following the entry into force" of the Convention of Lausanne. This treaty was signed by Turkey on the one hand, and by France, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Japan, Romania and Yugoslavia on the other. None of these countries opposed the Turkish reservation. In opposition to the reservation were Austria, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Danzig, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland, and these countries did not consider themselves bound to Turkey.
