Greece
19-12-1954
At the time of signing this Convention, I declare that the Greek Government interprets the phrase "insofar as may be possible", embodied in Articles 2 and 4 of the Convention, in the following sense : "having regard to the laws of each country and insofar as its internal conditions permit".
Switzerland
13-07-1962
In view of the federal structure of Switzerland and the powers in educational and cultural matters conferred on the cantons by the Federal Constitution, the said powers are reserved so far as concerns the application of the Convention by Switzerland.
