The next year, a French-Italian agreement was negotiated that relocated the 1,000-kilometer border between Libya and Chad southward about 100 kilometers across the Aouzou Strip, but this territorial concession to Italy was never ratified by the French legislature.
Det følgende år forhandledes en fransk-italienskt aftale, som omflyttede den 1000 kilometer lange grænse mellem Libyen og Tchad sydpå omkring 100 kilometer over Aouzoustrimlen, men denne territoriale indrømmelse til Italien blev aldrig ratificeret af det franske parlament.
