At last, after vain negotiations and discussions, the Swedish government in 1895 gave notice to Norway that the commercial treaty which until then had existed between the two countries would lapse in July 1897 and would cease according to a decision in the Riksdag, and as Norway at the time had raised the customs duties, a considerable diminution in the exports of Sweden to Norway took place.
無駄な交渉と議論の末、1895年についにスウェーデン政府はそれまで二国間に存在した通商条約が1897年7月に期限が切れるということをノルウェーに通告し、そして（リクスダーグの決定に従い）中断し、またその時ノルウェーが関税を上げたため、スウェーデンの対ノルウェー輸出が著しく縮小した。
