Recommendations of the English Language 

 Group to the Drafting Committee 



GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS 



The English Language Group makes the following recommendations 

 vith respect to come of the General Comments contained in Informal 

 Paper 19, to be implemented in the course of article-by-article review: 



1. Throughout Part XI, where there is a reference to "this Part", 

 this should include a reference to the annexes relating thereto. 

 Since this natter pertains to several Parts of the Convention, 

 the Group proposes the amendment to article 33.8 contained in 

 Section B o_ this report. 



2. The Group recommends that wherever "General" stands alone as a 

 section or subsection heading, the word "Provisions" should be added 

 to conform to the style of other Parts. 



3. The Group recommends that everywhere there is a reference to 

 "nodules", the reference should be to "polymetallic nodules". 



1*. The Group recommends that everywhere there is reference to "regulations' 

 or "rules and regulations" of the Authority, the reference should be 

 to "procedures" as well. Such reference should read, in all cases, 

 as "rules, regulations and procedures of the Authority" or "its rules, 

 regulations and procedures". 



5. As to General Comment No. 5, the English Language Group has deferred 

 other aspects of this matter, but its General Recommendation 1 on 

 page 1 of ELGDC/12 of 19 February, which reads as follows: 



"1. The first letter of subparagraphs should not be capitalized 

 (unless word is ordinarily capitalized or is the first word of a 

 sentence) ."
