A reading was conducted during the first and second part of the twenty-ninth session.\n2.\t Based on the negotiations during the first and the second part of the twenty-ninth session and the written proposals submitted during this period, this Revised Consolidated Text has been prepared by the President of the Council of the twenty-ninth session. The President has prepared this Revised Consolidated Text to assist discussions of the Council in an informal manner, and to try to harmonize and streamline the draft Regulations better, and all with a view to facilitating the finalization of the work of the draft Regulations.\n3.\tThe Revised Consolidated Text represents a revision of the Consolidated Text, and the following working modalities have been applied:\n(a) Only those proposals in respect of which there has been no express opposition to, are reflected in the Revised Consolidated Text. This is without prejudice to their future consideration or the possibility for delegations to re-introduce textual proposals not incorporated in the present Revised Consolidated Text;\n(b) The mark-up text in the Consolidated Text has been accepted to the extent that there has been no objection on the content. Where the President was in doubt as to whether there was consensus, the President has added square brackets;\n(c) The new revisions are reflected as marked-up text against the versions that were provided in the Consolidated Text;\n(d) Ideas that reflected a general direction in the discussions have been incorporated, although the precise textual formulations proposed by delegations may not have been reflected verbatim, the text presented is an attempt at reflecting a compromise of those ideas and proposals;\n(e) Where general comments were made but no drafting suggestions were provided or where several drafting suggestions were made going in a similar direction, the President have proposed wording for the consideration of delegations;\n(f) Square brackets are introduced for proposals for which conceptual discussions are expected and where further work might be requested by the Council;\n(g) Alternatives have been used throughout the text to present alternative conceptual approaches. The order in which options appear in the text should not be taken as indicating any suggested order of priority; and\n(h) Boxes contain explanations of revisions and/or the President’s comments, where necessary.\n4.\tRecalling that the work and result of this Revised Consolidated Text must be fully consistent with the provisions of the Convention and the 1994 Agreement, and the process and its result should not undermine existing relevant legal instruments and frameworks and relevant global, regional, and sectoral bodies. The Revised Consolidated Text has been prepared in that light.\n\u000f\n\u0003Table of Contents\n\u0013 TOC \\o \"1-2\" \\h \\z \\u \u0014\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968029\" \u0014Preamble\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968029 \\h \u001415\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968030\" \u0014Part I\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968030 \\h \u001415\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968031\" \u0014Introduction\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968031 \\h \u001415\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968032\" \u0014Regulation 1\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968032 \\h \u001415\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968033\" \u0014Use of terms and scope\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968033 \\h \u001415\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968034\" \u0014Regulation 2\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968034 \\h \u001417\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968035\" \u0014Principles, approaches and policies\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968035 \\h \u001417\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968036\" \u0014Regulation 3\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968036 \\h \u001418\u0015\u0015\n\u0013 HYPERLINK \\l \"_Toc158968037\" \u0014Duty to cooperate and exchange of information\t\u0013 PAGEREF _Toc158968037 \\h \u001418\u0015\u0015\nRegulation 4 ……………………………………………………………………………………………….20\nRights [and legitimate in","cbCaiiCa9QrZQg94","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiCa9QrZQg94","docx",786190,209,"English","en",105,"# Preamble\n## Part I\n## Introduction\n## Regulation 1 - Use of terms and scope\n## Regulation 2 - Principles, approaches and policies\n## Regulation 3 - Duty to cooperate and exchange of information\n## Regulation 4 - Rights [and legitimate interests] of coastal States and duty to notify\n## Part II\n## Applications for approval of Plans of Work in the form of contracts\n## Section 1 - Applications\n## Regulation 5 - Qualified applicants\n## Regulation 6 - Certificate of sponsorship\n## Regulation 7 - Form of applications and information to accompany a Plan of Work\n## Regulation 8 - Area covered by an application\n## Section 2 - Processing and review of applications\n## Regulation 9 - Receipt, acknowledgement and safe custody of applications\n## Regulation 10 - Preliminary review of application by the Secretary-General\n## Regulation 11 - Publication and review of the Environmental Plans","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Revised Consolidated Text prepared for the thirtieth session?\",\"answer\":\"To assist Council discussions in an informal manner by harmonizing and streamlining the draft Regulations and facilitating finalization of the work.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Revised Consolidated Text handle proposals from the previous session?\",\"answer\":\"Only proposals without express opposition are reflected, with alternatives and bracketed text used to reflect different conceptual approaches and areas needing further work.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the square brackets and boxes signify in this revised text?\",\"answer\":\"Square brackets mark content where consensus is uncertain or where further conceptual discussions may be requested;
