||
| 11. | Proposals for amendments and corrigenda to existing UN Regulations and for new UN Regulations – Voting by AC.1 |
The Administrative Committee, according to the procedure indicated in Appendix 1 of the 1958 Agreement, shall establish new Regulations and amendments to Regulations. Proposed Regulations and amendments to Regulations shall be voted on: (i) In case of new Regulations, each country, Contracting Party to the Agreement, shall have one vote. A quorum of not less than one-half of the Contracting Parties is required for the purpose of taking decisions. For determining the quorum, regional economic integration organizations being Contracting Parties to the Agreement, vote with the number of votes of their member States. The representative of a regional economic integration organization may deliver the votes of its constituent sovereign countries. Draft new Regulations shall be established by a four-fifths majority of those present and voting (Article 1 and Appendix); (ii) In case of amendments to existing Regulations, each country, Contracting Party to the Agreement applying the Regulation, shall have one vote. A quorum of not less than one-half of the Contracting Parties applying the Regulation is required for the purpose of taking decisions. For determining the quorum, regional economic integration organizations being Contracting Parties to the Agreement, vote with the number of votes of their member States. The representative of a regional economic integration organization may deliver the votes of its constituent sovereign countries, which apply the Regulation. Draft amendments to Regulations shall be established by a four-fifths majority of those present and voting (Article 12 and Appendix). Amendments to the Schedules of Administrative and Procedural Provisions shall be established by the Administrative Committee. Proposed amendments to the Schedules of Administrative and Procedural Provisions shall be voted on. Each Contracting Party to the Agreement applying one or more UN Regulations shall have one vote. A quorum of not less than half of the Contracting Parties to the Agreement applying one or more UN Regulations is required for the purposes of taking decisions. For the determination of the quorum, regional economic integration organizations, being Contracting Parties to the Agreement, vote with the number of votes of their member States. The representative of a regional economic integration organization may deliver the votes of those of its constituent sovereign countries which apply one or more UN Regulations. Draft amendments to the Schedules of Administrative and Procedural Provisions shall be established by unanimous vote of those present and voting (Article 13bis and Appendix 1). If all Contracting Parties to the Agreement agree, any UN Regulation adopted under the terms of the unamended Agreement may be treated as though it were a UN Regulation adopted under the terms of the amended Agreement (Article 15, para. 3). AC.1 will vote on the proposed amendments and corrigenda to existing UN Regulations of agenda items 4.6 to 4.13, taking into account the recommendations of the World Forum. |
