granting reciprocal treatment [reciprocity]
"Granting" is not a literal translation of "Wahrung" =ensuring, but rather of "Gewährung" which I think fits better in this context, as regulations typically grant rights, in this case the right of reciprocal treatment.

directive towards the maintenance (preservation, observance) of mutuality (reciprocity)
'Reciprocal' suggests a fair each-way traffic between two parties (reciprocal civilities). 'Mutual' can be similar in meaning, but is, in effect, the equivalent of 'each other'; a 'mutual' relationship' means that 'a' is to 'b' as 'b' is to 'a' and the point to remember is that only two parties are involved.
