The declaration concludes with the following passage: 'The above principles should in no way affect the duties of the minorities, of complete loyalty to the State to which they belong. They have been inspired by a desire to secure for the minorities equitable conditions of life, and harmonious collaboration with the nationals of the State in which they live -- a state of affairs which will contribute to the progressive strengthening of the friendly and good-neighbourly relations between Poland and Germany.'
