By 3 October 2017, none of the Contracting Parties to the above-mentioned Agreement had communicated an objection to the Secretary-General.

______
Annex III
Draft amendments to annexes A and B of ADR adopted by the Working Party for entry into force as soon as possible
Note by the secretariat: The draft amendments below were adopted by the Working Party as corrections. However, following the adoption of the report, the Treaty Section of the United Nations Office of Legal Affairs has been consulted and has expressed the view that most of the proposed corrections did not meet the criteria for corrections of errors or of a lack of concordance in the original of a multilateral treaty, as set out in the Summary of practice of the Secretary-General as depositary of multilateral treaties, and should be treated as amendments.
As a consequence, the Chairman of the Working Party has informed the secretariat that Portugal would submit a proposal of amendments in accordance with the procedure of Article 14 (3) of the ADR.
