Now, that being said, let’s make the following comments. On paragraph 39(a) and the first sentence on legal reviews, the inclusion of study, development, acquisition or adoption. Now, we know that a good number of delegations have made this request time and again relating to its reference in other protocols. Now, we don’t have any problem in including this reference, although we think it’s not necessarily immediately relevant to laws. Some delegations have asked for the deletion of sub-paragraph of paragraph 39, but we believe that it should stay in the text to ensure that we do not leave out the possibilities of future development or modifications to laws. It is a safeguard, in our view.
