1. The position to be taken on behalf of the Union at the 233rd session of the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization, or at any subsequent session, shall be to support the proposed amendments to Chapter 1, Chapter 3, paragraphs C, D, G, and H, and Chapter 8, paragraphs H and I, of Annex 9 to the Chicago Convention, contained in Amendment 30 to that Annex included in ICAO State Letter EC 6/3 - 24/67.
2. The position to be taken on behalf of the Union, provided the ICAO Council adopts without any substantial changes the proposed amendments referred to in paragraph 1, shall be not to register any disapproval and to notify compliance with the adopted amendments in reply to the relevant ICAO State Letter.
3. Where Union law would deviate from the amended SARPs after the envisaged date of application of those SARPs, the position to be taken on behalf of the Union shall be that any difference between Union law and those particular SARPs is to be notified to the ICAO, in accordance with Article 38 of the Chicago Convention. In such a case, the Commission shall, in due time and at least two months before any deadline set by the ICAO for the notification of differences, submit to the Council, for discussion and approval, a preparatory document setting out the detailed differences to be notified to the ICAO on behalf of the Union by the Member States.
