Abstract

Objectives: To place the International Poplar Commission within the framework of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations. Summary of provisions: The International Poplar Commission is placed within the framework of the FAO (art. I). Its functions are, inter alia, to study the scientific, technical, social and economic aspects of poplar and willow cultivation, arrange joint research programs, stimulate the organisation of congress, and report and make recommendations to the Conference of the FAO as well as to National Poplar Commissions (art. III). Parties undertake to establish National Poplar Commissions or designate some other suitable national body, as soon as possible and to the best of their abilities, and communicate to the Director-General of the FAO publications of their National Poplar Commissions (art. IV). Institutional mechanisms: The International Poplar Commission is constituted of an Executive Committee (art. VII), and a Secretary is appointed by the Director-General of the FAO (art. VIII). If necessary, the Commission may establish sub-commissions, committees or working parties (art. IX).
