Introduction In accordance with Paragraph 4 of Article 10 of the Convention on the Control and Marking of Articles of Precious Metals, the Standing Committee sent to the depositary, in December 1998, a proposal for the amendment of the text of the Convention. This text was duly circulated to the Convention’s Contracting States with an invitation to give their consent to the amendments proposed. Following the request presented by the Danish Government that further negotiations are opened on the proposed amendments, a meeting of legal experts from the Contracting States was convened by the depositary. The meeting was held in Copenhagen on 21 September 1999. During this meeting, legal experts addressed a number of legal questions and considered some proposals for amendments. They recommended that the amendments to the Convention be issued in the form of a protocol. The recommendations of the legal experts and the consolidated amendments to the Convention were subsequently presented to and accepted by the Standing Committee at its forty-eighth meeting held in Morges (Switzerland) on 13 and 14 December 1999. Following another request presented by the Danish Government that further negotiations are opened on the proposed amendments, a meeting of legal experts from the Contracting States was convened by the depositary. The meeting was held in Geneva on 8 January 2001. During this meeting, legal experts accepted one of the two proposals tabled by Denmark and found a suitable compromise on the second Danish proposal. The recommendations of the legal experts and the consolidated amendments to the Convention were subsequently presented to and accepted by the Standing Committee at its fiftieth meeting held in Geneva (Switzerland) on 9 January 2001. The consolidated amendments, as agreed by the Standing Committee, are the following: Preamble First paragraph: The following three paragraphs should be added: „Considering that the international harmonisation of standards and technical regulations and guidelines for methods and procedures for the control and marking of precious metal articles is a valuable contribution to the free movement of such products; Considering that this harmonisation should be supplemented by mutual recognition of control and marking and desiring therefore to promote and maintain co-operation between their assay offices and concerned authorities; Having regard to the fact that compulsory hallmarking is not required from the Contracting States to the Convention and that the marking of articles of precious metals with the Convention marks is carried out on a voluntary basis;” 2008/75. szám Article 1 Paragraphs 1 and 2 should be deleted and replaced by a new paragraph 1: „1. Articles controlled and marked by an authorised assay office in accordance with the provisions of this Convention shall not be submitted to further compulsory assaying or marking in an importing Contracting State. This does not prevent an importing Contracting State from carrying out check tests in accordance with Article 6.” Paragraph 3 becomes paragraph 2 and should be amended to read: „2. Nothing in this Convention shall require a Contracting State to allow the importation or sale of articles of precious metals which are not defined in its national legislation or do not comply with its national standards of fineness.” Article 2 The articles of precious metals listed in Article 2 should be amended to read „(...) articles of platinum, gold, palladium, silver, or alloys thereof (...)” Article 3 In paragraph 1 to Article 1 (in fine) the word „be” should be deleted; In sub-paragraph (a) the word „be” should be added before „submitted” and the word „authorised” should be spelled the British way; the following new sub-paragraph 1 (b) should be added: „(b) fulfil the technical requirements of this Convention as laid down in Annex I;” the former sub-paragraphs (b) and (c) should be amended to read: „(c) be controlled in accordance with the rules and procedures laid down in Annex II; (d) be marked with the marks as prescribed in Annex II.” Article 4 The reference to „paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 1” should be changed to read „paragraph 1 of Article 1”. Article 5 Paragraph 1 should be replaced by the two following paragraphs: „1. Each Contracting State shall appoint one or more authorised assay offices for the control and marking of articles of precious metals as provided for in Annex II.
