Decisión nº: 002443

In October 1994 the 1971 Fund Assembly decided, in accordance with Article 5.4 of the 1971 Fund Convention, to include the amendments to SOLAS 74, adopted in December 1992 by the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) by Resolution MSC.27(61), in the list of instruments contained in Article 5.3 (a) of the Convention, with effect from 1 May 1995. The Assembly decided not to include the November 1993 amendments to COLREG 72 adopted by the Assembly of IMO (Resolution A.736(18)) in the list of instruments contained in Article 5.3 (a) of the Convention, since they were not considered relevant for the purposes of Article 5.3 of the Convention. As regards the May 1994 amendments to SOLAS 74 adopted by the Conference of Contracting Governments to SOLAS 74 and the Maritime Safety Committee of IMO (Conference Resolution 1 and Resolution MSC.31(63), respectively), the Assembly considered that these amendments were of an important character for the purpose of the prevention of oil pollution, but that it was premature to take a decision on whether to include them in the list of instruments contained in Article 5.3 (a), since it was not possible to determine whether these amendments would enter into force.
