CONT

[...] l'échange de notes est le terme par lequel on désigne deux documents unilatéraux et indépendants, qui consignent un accord - par exemple, entre l'ambassade et le ministère des Affaires étrangères. Une des deux notes se présente comme une proposition d'accord, l'autre comme une acceptation; l'essentiel de leur contenu - à savoir les termes de l'accord - étant identique. En fait, la proposition et l'acceptation sont, le plus souvent, la confirmation d'un accord verbal intervenu à la suite de négociations [...]
