Abstract

Decision directed to Standing Committee

Such compliance measures may include a recommendation to suspend commercial trade with Parties affected by Decision 20.40 that have failed to adopt appropriate measures for the effective implementation of the Convention, in particular Parties identified as requiring attention as a priority. Any recommendation to suspend commercial trade with the Party concerned shall take effect 60 days after it is agreed, unless the Party adopts appropriate measures before the expiry of the 60 days or takes significant and substantive steps to do so.
