ARTICLE 5 -- OBLIGATIONS OF AFFECTED COUNTRY PARTIES:
The
brackets around sub-paragraph (e) were removed and agreement has
been reached on the entire article. Sub-paragraph (e) addresses the
need to strengthen, as appropriate, relevant existing legislation
and, where they do not exist, establishing new laws, long-term
policies and action programmes. A new paragraph was proposed by the
European Union and accepted with amendments by Working Group I. It
states that affected developed country Parties are not entitled to
receive financial assistance under the terms of this Convention.
