2. Refers the proposed buffer zones for the Punic Town of Kerkuane and its Necropolis, Tunisia, back to the State Party to allow it to provide a plan to scale clearly delineating the buffer zones so as to adequately protect and conserve the property. Current land uses and cadastral plans should be considered for the delimitation of the buffer zones.
