AUSTRIA.

31-01-2013 OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATION MADE AT THE TIME OF ACCESSION BY THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES:

" The Government of Austria has studied the reservation made by the United Arab Emirates at the time of its accession to the Convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

The Government of Austria considers that by reference to national law in relation to Article 1 of the Convention the United Arab Emirates has issued a general and indeterminate reservation. This reservation does not provide for the other States Parties to the Convention to what extent the State that makes the reservation has accepted the obligations of the Convention.

Thus, the Government of Austria considers the reservation made by the United Arab Emirates incompatible with the object and purpose of the Convention and puts an objection to it.

This objection will not prevent the entry into force of the Convention between Austria and the United Arab Emirates. "

QUATAR.

14-03-2012 WITHDRAWAL AND PARTIAL WITHDRAWAL OF RESERVATIONS MADE AT THE TIME OF THEIR ACCESSION:

On 14 March 2012, the Government of the State of Qatar notified the Secretary-General, in accordance with Article 30 (3) of the Convention, of its decision to withdraw and partially withdraw its reservations expressed in the time of accession:

The State of Qatar:

1) partially withdraws its general reserve, while maintaining a general limited reserve relating to Articles 1 and 16 of the Convention, and.

2) withdraws its reservation to the competition of the Committee against Torture provided for in Articles 21 and 22 of the Convention.

From now on, the text of the reservation will be as follows:

Any interpretation of Articles 1 and 16 of the Convention that is incompatible with the precepts of Islamic Law and Islamic religion.

SWEDEN.

07-03-2013 OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATION MADE AT THE TIME OF ACCESSION BY THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES:

" The Government of Sweden has studied the statement and reservations made by the United Arab Emirates at the time of their accession to the Convention.

The Government of Sweden recalls that the designation of a declaration which excludes or modifies the legal validity of certain provisions of a treaty does not determine its status as a reserve. The Government of Sweden considers that the statement made by the United Arab Emirates constitutes in its essence a reservation which limits the scope of the Convention.

The Government of Sweden notes that the reservation, according to which " the legal sanctions applicable under national law, or the pain or suffering caused by such sanctions or arising or associated with them, is not includes in the concept of "torture" as defined in Article 1 of this Convention and in the concept of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment referred to in the Convention, implies that the application of the Convention is subject to a General reservation in relation to the legislation in force in the United Arab Emirates. The Swedish Government is of the opinion that such a reservation, which does not clearly specify what its true scope is, raises serious doubts as to the commitment of the United Arab Emirates to the object and purpose of the Convention.

In accordance with customary international law enshrined in the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, a reservation incompatible with the object and the end of a treaty shall not be permitted. It is in the interests of the States themselves that the treaties in which they have chosen to be parties are respected, in their object and purpose, by all parties and that the States are ready to undertake the necessary legislative changes to comply with the obligations incumbent upon them under the Treaties.

Thus, the Government of Sweden objects to the aforementioned reservation, formulated by the United Arab Emirates to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and considers it null reserve. This objection will not prevent the entry into force of the Convention between the United Arab Emirates and Sweden. The Convention enters into force between the United Arab Emirates and Sweden, without the United Arab Emirates being able to avail itself of this reservation. "

SLOVAKIA.

28-09-2010 OBJECTION TO THE INTERPRETATIVE DECLARATION MADE BY THAILAND AT THE TIME OF RATIFICATION:

" The Slovak Republic has examined the interpretative declaration made by the Kingdom of Thailand at the time of the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities on 29 July 2008, according to the which:

"The Kingdom of Thailand hereby declares that Article 18 of the Convention shall apply subject to the national laws, regulations and practices of Thailand."

The Slovak Republic believes that the interpretative declaration made by the Kingdom of Thailand is in fact a reservation in respect of Article 18 of the Convention.

The Slovak Republic notes that these reserves do not clearly indicate to what extent the Kingdom of Thailand is considered to be linked to the obligations arising under Article 18 of the Convention, which raises serious doubts about its the will to respect the object and the end of the Convention with regard to the right to freedom of movement and nationality.

Pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 46 of the Convention, as well as customary international law, governed by the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, it does not authorize reservations incompatible with the object and the end of the treaty.

The Slovak Republic notes that this reservation prevents it from being clear to what extent the Islamic Republic of Iran intends to fulfil its obligations under the Convention, since it is not considered to be bound by the provisions of the Convention which may be incompatible with their applicable rules. '

Pursuant to paragraph 1 of Article 46 of the Convention, as well as customary international law, governed by the Vienna Convention on the Law of the Treaties, it does not authorize reservations incompatible with the object and the end of the treaty.

The Slovak Republic formulates an objection to the aforementioned reservation to the aforementioned Convention by the Islamic Republic of Iran.

CONVENTION ON THE RECOGNITION OF HIGHER EDUCATION QUALIFICATIONS IN THE EUROPEAN REGION.

Lisbon, 11 April 1997. BOE: 03-12-2009, No. 291.

GERMANY.

21-03-2013 STATEMENT:

" In relation to Articles II.2 and IX.2 of the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications relating to Higher Education in the European Region, the Federal Republic of Germany makes the following statement:

In the Federal System of the Federal Republic of Germany there are several competent bodies in the field of recognition of qualifications:

-Valuation of foreign titles that give access to higher education.

In the context of admission and/or tuition procedures, it is higher education institutions who decide on the recognition of foreign qualifications held by the German candidates, foreigners or stateless persons and who give access to higher education. Recognition shall be limited to the course of study concerned. The assessment criteria that are published on the www.anabin.de page, in the section "Hochschulzugang" (access to higher education), will be taken as the basis for the adoption of the decision on recognition. However, the assessment of foreign qualifications may also be entrusted to the central bodies responsible for the recognition of certificates. The decisions of the bodies responsible for the recognition of certificates and those of higher education institutions are recognised in all the Länder.

-Recognition of credit units obtained in studies and examinations.

This task is for higher education institutions. The higher education framework law and the laws of the Länder governing higher education provide only that, for the purposes of their validation, such credit units obtained abroad have to be equivalent. The examination framework regulations and the examination regulations of higher education institutions contain more detailed information on the certification of equivalences.

In the curricula leading to a "state examination" (Staatsexamen), the transferable course units are validated by the services responsible for the Land examinations, in the field of the Lander's competences.

In curricula leading to other public examinations/qualifications, transferable course units are also validated by the services that act in the field of Lander competencies.

In curricula leading to a diploma of "ecclesiastical examination" (Kirchliche Prüfung) or other ecclesiastical qualifications, the transferable course units are validated by the services of the churches.

-Valuation of foreign qualifications.

The Central Office for Foreign Education (Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen-ZAB) is responsible for assessing foreign qualifications on behalf of German education authorities and institutions. above. The ZAB provides information relevant to the assessment, in particular through the anabin database, and delivers opinions in specific cases.

-Valorations without a specific purpose under Article III.1 of the Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications relating to Higher Education in the European Region.

The ZAB is competent to perform the valuations referred to as "without a specific purpose" in accordance with Article III.1 of the Convention.

The ZAB acts as a national information center pursuant to Article IX.2.

In relation to Article VI of the Convention, the Federal Republic of Germany makes the following statement:

Taking into account the major differences between national legislation, the Federal Republic of Germany points out that, as far as the programmes and qualifications of higher education are concerned, the for professions in the legal field, substantial differences within the meaning of Article VI.1 can be expected, in general, and Article VI.3 (a) applies only to access to supplementary studies in a teaching centre. above. Consequently, the Federal Republic of Germany will continue to grant access to a regulated profession in the legal field, and to the practice of that profession, subject to compliance with the provisions and procedures in force in its the territory, and the other requirements laid down by the competent bodies for the practice of the profession concerned; the same shall also apply to the admission to the training courses of that regulated profession.

Outside the countries which are members of the European Union, the Parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or which are in any case bound by an agreement containing provisions on the recognition of Professional qualifications of the European Union, the field of medical professions is not harmonised. In the interest of public health, it is appropriate to establish a minimum level of training corresponding to that of the European Union's sectoral directives on recognition. If it is apparent from the comparison of qualifications that the minimum level is not attained, the Federal Republic of Germany points out that substantial differences can be expected in this case within the meaning of Article VI.1, and that Article VI.3 (a) only provides for access to further studies at a higher education institution.

The Federal Republic of Germany will continue to grant access to a regulated profession in the legal field, and to the practice of that profession, subject to compliance with the provisions and procedures in force in its territory, and the other requirements laid down by the competent bodies for the practice of the profession in question.

" The Kingdom of the Netherlands consisted of three parts: the Netherlands, Aruba and the Netherlands Antilles, the latter being formed in turn by the islands of Curacao, San Martín, Bonaire, San Eustaquio and Saba.

The modification of the Kingdom's structure will therefore not affect the validity of the treaties ratified by the Kingdom on behalf of the Netherlands Antilles. These treaties, with the reservations formulated, will continue to apply to Curaçao and San Martín.

This provision means that the Danish authorities will not be prevented from considering, on the basis of a specific assessment, a breach of Article 5 or Article 9 in relation to Article 5 of the Convention as a political offence, and that, such situations shall not prevent the Danish authorities from refusing extradition for that sole reason.

In this context, and in accordance with Article 20 (5) and (6), the Government of the Kingdom of Denmark has notified the Secretary-General of the Council of Europe that it maintains its reservation made pursuant to Article 20 (2). "
