Article 1, paragraph 7, of the Convention. The Committee recalls the provisions of section 1, paragraph 4, of Annex XIV of the Royal Order of 20 July 1973 which empower the competent authority in certain conditions to exempt any vessel from the full application of any of the requirements set out in the Annex. A similar provision is also included in section 4, paragraph 2, of the Act of 5 June 1972. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether any such exemptions have been granted and, if so, communicate particulars of such variations, in accordance with the provisions of the Convention.
