    Paragraph 80 of the ATCM XXX Final Report.

Referring to Rule 26 of the Rules of Procedure, the Meeting noted the importance of having definitive versions of Measures adopted in accordance with the procedures of Article 6.1 and 8.2 of Annex V to the Protocol on Environmental Protection within sufficient time to implement them prior to their coming into force within 90 days. To this end, the Parties asked the Secretariat to ensure the texts as adopted were available on its website in all Treaty languages within seven days following the end of the ATCM. Parties then agreed to provide any additional corrections required within a further fourteen days. The Secretariat would ensure that these corrections were clearly marked in the texts posted to the ATS website for a further seven days for final comments. The definitive texts would then be confirmed and circulated by the Secretariat to all Parties.
