Further to its previous comments, the Committee notes from the Government's report that the committee of experts of the Standing Committee of the People's Assembly, which was responsible for preparing the draft amendments to the Maritime Code, has not yet completed its work due to other urgent matters. The Committee also notes that the competent minister has requested the committee to bring the Maritime Code rapidly into complete conformity with the Convention. The Committee therefore trusts that these amendments will be adopted by the Assembly in the very near future, in order to give effect to Article 6, paragraph 3 (10(c)), Article 9, paragraphs 1 and 2 and Articles 4, 8, 13 and 14 of the Convention.
