### <a id="p100091"></a>III. Declarations, Reservations, Statements and Notifications



#### <a id="p100243"></a>Costa Rica

<a id="p100244"></a>The instrument of accession was accompanied by the following text:
<a id="p100245"></a>"ARTICLE 2 - The Government of the Republic of Costa Rica makes the following reservations to this Convention and its amendments:
<a id="p100246"></a>1 Standard 2.3, in which it is established that the Cargo Declaration shall be the basic document on arrival and departure providing data required by public authorities relating to the cargo, shall not apply insofar as only the ship's manifest, contemplated in Standard 2.3.4, shall be accepted.
<a id="p100247"></a>2 In Recommended Practice 2.6.4, which establishes that where a ship, serving in a scheduled programme, calls again at the same port at least once within 14 days and where minor changes in the crew have taken place, public authorities should not normally require a new, full Crew List to be submitted but should accept the existing Crew List with the changes indicated, shall not apply insofar as each time a ship enters a Costa Rican port, coming from a foreign port, it must submit the Crew List.
<a id="p100248"></a>3 Recommended Practice 2.7.2 - in which it is established that public authorities should not require embarkation or disembarkation cards in addition to Passenger Lists in respect of passengers whose names appear on those Lists; however, where public authorities have special problems constituting a grave danger to public health, a person on an international voyage may on arrival be required to give a destination address in writing - shall not apply given that those passengers disembarking or embarking in Costa Rican ports must complete the respective embarkation/disembarkation document. Regarding cruise ships, those passengers leaving the country in the same ship and by the same port of entry, to the extent possible, shall not be required to submit the said forms.
<a id="p100249"></a>4 Recommended Practice 2.7.3 shall not apply if in the Passenger List the passport number is not included.
<a id="p100250"></a>5 In Recommended Practice 3.6, which establishes the information that the embarkation/disembarkation card should contain, the following information should be added:

<div align="center">

<a id="p100251"></a>**- type of travel document;**<br>

- <a id="p100255"></a>country of destination.
<a id="p100256"></a>6 Standard 3.10.2 shall not apply insofar as the Costa Rican immigration authorities only accept submission of the passport and the crew member must have a visa for entry into Costa Rican territory in accordance with their nationality.
<a id="p100257"></a>7 Standard 3.15 shall not be used in Costa Rica, on account of the fact that domestic legislation establishes that if admission of a foreign national to Costa Rican territory is denied, the transport operator by which the said person arrived in the country is obliged to transport him or her at its own cost and risk to the country of provenance or origin or to another country that will accept him or her.
<a id="p100258"></a>8 Standard 3.31 shall not apply in Costa Rica, given that the legislation does not allow duty-free goods to be sold on board cruise ships during the ship's stay in port.
<a id="p100259"></a>9 Recommended Practice 3.38 shall not apply, given that the immigration authorities shall require passengers in transit to complete a disembarkation/embarkation card.
<a id="p100260"></a>10 Standard 3.47 shall not apply in Costa Rica, given that, for the purpose of shore leave, a crew member must obtain a shore leave pass from the immigration authorities.
<a id="p100261"></a>11 Standard 5.19 shall not apply, given that specific regulations exist to deal with cases where any cargo listed on the Cargo Declaration is not discharged at the port of intended destination, including Act No.7557, General Customs Act, of 20 October 1995.
<a id="p100262"></a>12 Recommended Practice 6.11 shall not apply, given that animals, plants and animal and plant products prohibited by Costa Rican laws and technical regulations may not be imported even when accompanied by a quarantine certificate. In the case of export, special additional requirements, needs or declarations of quarantine importance for the buyer country must be known in advance.
<a id="p100263"></a>13 The Republic of Costa Rica makes a reservation to articles VII, VIII and IX of the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic, 1965, as amended, in the sense that the amendments to the said Convention shall come into force in the country once they have been approved, in accordance with the procedures established in the Political Constitution of the Republic of Costa Rica."


#### <a id="p100092"></a>Cuba

<a id="p100093"></a>The instrument of accession of the Republic of Cuba contained the following declarations:
<a id="p100264"></a>[Translation]
<a id="p100094"></a>"The Government of the Republic of Cuba considers that the provisions of article X of the Convention, notwithstanding the fact that it deals with matters of interest for all States, are discriminatory in nature in that they withhold from a number of States the right of signature and accession, which is contrary to the principle of universality."
<a id="p100095"></a>"The Government of the Republic of Cuba considers that the application of the provisions contained in article XII of the Convention is at variance with the Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples contained in resolution 1514(XV) adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on 14 December 1960, which proclaims the necessity of putting a speedy and unconditional end to colonialism in all its forms and manifestations."


#### <a id="p100096"></a>Czechia

<div align="center">

<a id="p100097"></a>**The instrument of accession of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic contains the following paragraph (in the Czechoslovak language):**<br>
<a id="p100098"></a>**[Translation]**

</div>

<a id="p100099"></a>"In acceding to the Convention, the Government of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic regard it necessary to call attention to the discriminatory nature of article X of the Convention since its provisions do not provide to all States the equal right to accede to the Convention and in their consequences deprive certain States of the possibility to become Contracting Parties to it. The Convention regulates questions concerning all States and accordingly it should be open to participation of all States without limitations. In harmony with the principle of sovereign equality no States have the right to exclude other States from participation in treaties, especially in treaties of this kind."
<a id="p100100"></a>Czechia and Slovakia, as successor States to the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, consider themselves bound by the multilateral international treaties to which the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic was a party, as of 1 January 1993, including reservations and declarations made earlier by the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic.


#### <a id="p100101"></a>Egypt

<a id="p100102"></a>The instrument of acceptance of the Arab Republic of Egypt contained the following declaration:
<a id="p100103"></a>[Unofficial translation]

<a id="p100105"></a>Federal Republic of Germany <1>
<a id="p100106"></a>A letter (in the English language) from the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany in London, which accompanied the instrument of acceptance, contains the following sentence:
<a id="p100107"></a>"The said Convention shall also apply to Land Berlin with effect from the date on which it enters into force for the Federal Republic of Germany."

<a id="p100108"></a>

---

<a id="p100109"></a><1> The following Governments do not accept the declaration accompanying the instrument of acceptance of the Federal Republic of Germany, and the texts of their Notes to this effect were circulated by the depositary: Poland, the USSR.
<a id="p100110"></a>The texts of further communications from the Governments of France, the Federal Republic of Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States were also circulated by the depositary.


#### <a id="p100111"></a>Hungary

<a id="p100112"></a>The instrument of acceptance of the Hungarian People's Republic was accompanied by the following statement (in the English language):
<a id="p100113"></a>"The Presidential Council of the Hungarian People's Republic declares that article 10 of the Convention on Facilitation of International Maritime Traffic contains discriminative provisions since it does not give every State an equal right to become a party to the Convention. The Convention regulates such questions which concern all States and, therefore, it should be open for all States, without any restriction and discrimination."


#### <a id="p100114"></a>Iraq

<div align="center">

<a id="p100115"></a>**The instrument of accession of the Republic of Iraq contained the following sentence (in the Arabic language):**<br>
<a id="p100116"></a>**[Translation]**

<a id="p100117"></a>"ENTRY INTO the above convention by the Republic of Iraq shall, however, in no way signify recognition of Israel or be conducive to entry into any relations therewith."

<a id="p100119"></a>The instrument of accession of Malta contained the following reservations:
<a id="p100120"></a>"Standard 2.6.3 - a crew list has to be submitted by every ship calling in a local port after an international voyage"; and
<a id="p100121"></a>"Standard 2.22 - ships calling in a port to disembark a sick or injured person have to submit all the applicable documents to the relative public authority, but this will not delay clearance".

<a id="p100122"></a>Syrian Arab Republic <1>
<a id="p100123"></a>The instrument of accession of the Syrian Arab Republic contains the following sentence (in the Arabic language):
<a id="p100124"></a>[Translation]
<a id="p100125"></a>"...this accession... to this Convention... in no way implies recognition of Israel and does not involve the establishment of any relations with Israel arising from the provisions of this Convention."

<a id="p100127"></a><1> The depositary received a communication dated 11 February 1976 from the Chargé d'affaires ad interim of the Embassy of Israel in London. The communication, the full text of which was circulated by the depositary, includes the following:
<a id="p100128"></a>"The Government of Israel notes that in acceding to the Convention... the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic included in its instruments of accession sentences relating to the State of Israel. This statement by the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic is a political one and it is the view of the Government of Israel that the [International Maritime Organization] and its conventions are not the proper place for making such pronouncements. These pronouncements are, moreover, in flagrant contradiction to the principles, objects and purposes of the Convention in question."
<a id="p100129"></a>"The Government of Israel rejects the said statement as being devoid of any legal validity whatsoever and will proceed on the assumption that it cannot in any way affect the obligations incumbent on the Syrian Arab Republic under the above-mentioned Convention."
<a id="p100130"></a>"The Government of Israel will, in so far as concerns the substance of the matter, adopt towards the Government of the Syrian Arab Republic an attitude of complete reciprocity."


#### <a id="p100131"></a>Uruguay

<div align="center">

<a id="p100132"></a>**The instrument of accession of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay was accompanied by the following declaration:**<br>
<a id="p100133"></a>**[Translation]**

</div>

<a id="p100134"></a>"Where, during the unloading of goods from ships or on their receipt in national warehouses, differences in packages are found, in terms of plus or minus quantities, in relation to what is stated in the consular cargo manifest, or where differences occur between the cargo of a ship and the manifest originating at the last port of call, unless those documents have been corrected in accordance with the regulations, the seizure of the excess packages shall be declared or a fine equal to the value of the missing goods shall be imposed.
<a id="p100135"></a>In the case of goods carried in bulk or without packaging, the sanction shall be applied on the plus or minus differences with respect to the weights or quantities declared in the above-mentioned documents.
