amending the Convention of 20 May 1987 on a common transit procedure
(2005/560/EC)

(5) |
Annex D2 to Appendix III of the Convention also contains the reference to the ISO alpha-2 country codes as specified in ISO-3166 of 1 January 1996, which has been updated on several occasions, and it should therefore be ensured that the list of country codes used in a transit declaration corresponds to the latest version of the ISO-3166 available. |
(6) |
The provisions concerned should therefore be amended accordingly, |
