Measures designated as no longer current

The Representatives,

Recalling Decision 3 (2002) and Decision 1 (2007), which established lists of measures* that were designated as spent or no longer current;
Having reviewed a number of measures on the subject of Protected Areas and General Environmental Issues;
Recognising that the measures listed in the Annex to this Decision are no longer current;
Noting that the Committee for Environmental Protection provided advice where asked;

Decide:
1. that the measures listed in the Annex to this Decision require no further action by the Parties; and
2. to request the Secretariat of the Antarctic Treaty to post the text of the measures that appear in the Annex to this Decision on its website in a way that makes clear that these measures are no longer current and that the Parties do not need to take any further action with respect to them.

*Note: measures previously adopted under Article IX of the Antarctic Treaty were described as Recommendations up to ATCM XIX (1995) and were divided into Measures, Decisions and Resolutions by Decision 1 (1995).
