Agenda-item type Administrative

What's being studied — points to watch

Country-initiated only

Deletions happen at the requesting administration's own initiative, for arrangements it no longer needs.

Table accuracy

Removing stale footnotes keeps the allocation table an honest picture of national deviations still in force.

No effect on others

A deletion should not change the rights or conditions of other countries named in the same footnote.
