1. The annexes to this Convention or to any protocol shall form an integral part of the Convention or of such protocol, as the case may be, and, unless expressly provided otherwise, a reference to this Convention or its protocols constitutes at the same time a reference to any annexes thereto. Such annexes shall be restricted to procedural, scientific, technical and administrative matters.
2. Except as may be otherwise provided in any protocol with respect
to its annexes, the following procedure shall apply to the proposal,
adoption and entry into force of additional annexes to this Convention
or of annexes to any protocol:
(a) Annexes to this Convention or to any protocol shall be proposed
and adopted according to the procedure laid down in Article 29;
(b) Any Party that is unable to approve an additional annex to this
Convention or an annex to any protocol to which it is Party shall so
notify the Depositary, in writing, within one year from the date of the
communication of the adoption by the Depositary. The Depositary shall
without delay notify all Parties of any such notification received. A
Party may at any time withdraw a previous declaration of objection and
the annexes shall thereupon enter into force for that Party subject to
subparagraph (c) below;
(c) On the expiry of one year from the date of the communication of
the adoption by the Depositary, the annex shall enter into force for all
Parties to this Convention or to any protocol concerned which have not
submitted a notification in accordance with the provisions of
subparagraph (b) above.
3. The proposal, adoption and entry into force of amendments to
annexes to this Convention or to any protocol shall be subject to the
same procedure as for the proposal, adoption and entry into force of
annexes to the Convention or annexes to any protocol.
4. If an additional annex or an amendment to an annex is related to
an amendment to this Convention or to any protocol, the additional annex
or amendment shall not enter into force until such time as the
amendment to the Convention or to the protocol concerned enters into
force.
