"They will be able to integrate the Commission referred to in Article 1, which will henceforth be called the Pan American Civil Aviation Commission, the Commission or COPAC, the States located in the American Continent and in the Caribbean, a geographical area that will be called the Region for the purposes of this instrument."

(b) Please refer to all the articles of the Statute that are necessary in order to replace the expressions "Latin American Civil Aviation Commission (CLAC)" with that of " Pan American Civil Aviation Commission (COPAC)", as well as "Latin American region" or "Latin America" by "the Region".

(2) The present amendments to the Statute of CLAC shall enter into force when the two thirds of the total number of member States have deposited the instrument of approval in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the United Mexican States.
