I have nothing further to add to the details of my reply to Question No. 176 of 4 March 2008 other than to indicate that the programme of work that has been developed so as to meet the legislative and administrative obligations under the Convention is being actively addressed by the relevant Departments, including my own Department, and that the intention of the Government is to have the Convention ratified as quickly as possible consistent with implementation of the various legislative and administrative measures.
