France
14-04-1982
The Government of the French Republic, referring to article 9 of the Protocol, declares
that it does not consider itself bound by article 8, which provides for the compulsory
jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice.
Romania
28-08-1979
The Socialist Republic of Romania declares, pursuant to article 9 of the Protocol
to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road
(CMR), done at Geneva on 19 May 1956, that it does not consider itself bound by article
8 of the Protocol, under which any dispute between two or more Contracting Parties
relating to the interpretation or application of the Protocol which the Parties are
unable to settle by negotiation or other means may, at the request of any one of the
Contracting Parties concerned, be referred to the International Court of Justice.
The Socialist Republic of Romania considers that such disputes may be referred to
the International Court of Justice only with the consent of all parties to the dispute
in each individual case.
The Socialist Republic of Romania further declares that the provisions of article
3, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Protocol are not in keeping with the principle that
multilateral international treaties must be open for participation by all States for
which the aim and purpose of such treaties are of concern.
The Socialist Republic of Romania likewise declares that the maintenance of the dependent
status of certain territories, to which reference is made in article 7 of the Protocol,
is not in conformity with the Charter of the United Nations concerning the granting
of independence to colonial countries and peoples, including the Declaration on Principles
of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States in
accordance with the Charter of the United Nations unanimously adopted in 1970 by the
General Assembly in its resolution 2625 (XXV), which solemnly proclaims the duty of
States to promote realization of the principle of equal rights and self-determination
of peoples in order to bring a speedy end to colonialism.
Switzerland
10-10-1983
With reference to new paragraphs 7 and 9 of article 23 of the CMR, which have been
added in accordance with article 2 of the Protocol, the Swiss Federal Council declares
that Switzerland calculates the value of its national currency in terms of the Special
Drawing Right (SDR) in the following manner:
Each day, the Swiss National Bank (BNS) communicates to the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) the average rate for the United States Dollar on the Zurich currency market.
The exchange value of an SDR in Swiss Francs is obtained using that exchange rate
for the dollar and the exchange rate of the SDR against the Dollar, as calculated
by IMF. On the basis of those values, BNS calculates an average rate for the SDR,
which it publishes in its monthly bulletin.
