Conclusion
These are the pros and the cons which will have to be faced. My own judgement is that, legally binding measures are required to strengthen the Convention. The opportunity needs to be taken to fine tune some of the declaration provisions, to fine tune some of the visit arrangements, and to find the most acceptable set of investigations. But, I believe that negotiators with the support of political decisional makers these elements can be developed in a way where such legally binding measures to strengthen the Convention will enhance what is foreseen as a “Golden Age” of industry.
