AMENDMENT OF THE PLANT PROTECTION AGREEMENT FOR THE SOUTH-EAST ASIA AND PACIFIC REGION
The Council,
Considering that the Plant Protection Committee for the South-East Asia and Pacific Region decided that an amendment to Article I [a) of the Plant Protection Agreement for the South-East Asia and Pacific Region was desirable in order to extend the geographical scope of the Agreement and that the Committee had to this end suggested a new definition of the Region;
Having examined the new definition of the Region submitted to it by the Director-General in accordance with the provisions of Article IX, paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Agreement, which definition reads as follows:
"The South-East Asia and Pacific Region, hereinafter called "The Region", comprises all territories in South-East Asia east of the western border of Pakistan and south of the Himalayas, the southern border of China and west of the eastern coast of Viet-Nam, together with all those territories in the Pacific Ocean, the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean situated wholly or partly in the area bounded by longitude 100° East, latitude 45° South, longitude 130° West, Latitude 38° North to the point of its intersection with the Western coast of the Republic of Korea, and from that point a straight line to Taipei, and thence a straight line to the point of intersection of the Eastern coast of Viet-Nam and latitude 15° North. For the purpose of implementing the objectives of this Agreement Hong-Kong shall also be considered as being in the Region."
Approves the new definition of the Region embodied in the text quoted in the preceding paragraph which text is to be substituted by way of amendment for that appearing in Article I (a), of the Plant Protection Agreement for the South-East Asia and Pacific Region.
