Article 1

Section A, paragraph (1)

The attention of the Style Committee is drawn to the phrase reading in English: "Decisions as to eligibility" and in French "Les décisions d'éigibilité" at the beginning of the second sub-paragraph. The view expressed in the Conference that this might be redrafted by the Committee.

Paragraph 2

The attention of the Committee is drawn to the amendment presented by the United Kingdom representative (A/CONF.2/27) which was not voted upon by the Conference, but which it was thought might be redrafted by the Committee.

Section D

See note in Document A/CONG.2/AC.1/R.1

Section E

The attention of the Committee is drawn to the fact that sub-paragraphs (b) and (c) were adopted in French. The English text is a translation made by the Secretariat.

Section F

The Style Committee may bear in mind the suggestion that Section F be placed immediately after Section A.

Attention is drawn to the phrase reading in French: "s'ils acceptent cette extension en ce qui les concerne" and in English: "whether they accept that extension as far as it concerns them" which may require redrafting.
