^{page 858 note */} The text of the reservation by the Federal Republic of Germany is set out in the Appendix to this document.

^{page 859 note */} The paragraph in question reads as follows:

“The Advisory Group convened last February stressed the desirability of calling the attention of the Contracting Parties to the London Dunping Convention to the consideration that on a purely oceanographio and radiological basis only the release rates and not the concentration (specific activity) of the radionuclides in the material dumped are important.The Advisory Group therefore suggested that the Contracting Parties night wish to reconsider the wording of paragraph 6 of Annex I to the Convention, which implies a concentration-rather, than a total release.concept. It recognized, however, that this approach would require the establishment of notification and prior consultation procedures, a number of administrative measures and.increased duties in.the administration of the Convention.but it recommended that consideration be given to providing the; Definition with, a conceptual basis which appears more rational from a scientific point of view.This is a matter which falls within the purview of Consultative Meetings of the Contracting Parties to the Convention, whose responsibilities are to keep under continuing review the implementation of the Convention and, inter alia, to consider and adopt amendments to the Convention and its Annexes. The Director General therefore intends to have the natter brought before the Third Consultative Meeting of the Contracting Parties next October for their consideration.”
