One of the principal concerns of many members of the Working Group was that some States might seek to ratify only specific parts of the Convention or seek to exclude certain categories of migrant workers from its ambit. The essential motivation behind the present proposal was to preclude that and, if accepted, it would render the adoption of a provision on reciprocity redundant. / . . .

Tha representative of the Federal Republic of Germany expressed a preference for the text for former article 136 as contained in the right-hand column of document A/C.3/45/WG.l/CRP.l. He reiterated that the draft Convention went into too many details and, if his Government was considering whether to ratify the Convention, it would not wish to be bound to recognise al.1 of the extensive rights covered therein in respect of the many categories of migrant workers it sought to cover. He was therefore unwilling to support the text of the proposal by Finland. The representative of Japan also expressed a preference for the text in the right-hand column of document A1C.31451WG.11CRP.l and reserved the position of his delegation as regards the proposal by Finland. 
**Analysis**
The text discusses the proposal of a Convention on the rights of migrant workers, specifically addressing the concerns of States ratifying or acceding to the Convention and the potential for exclusion of certain categories of migrant workers. This indicates a focus on labor and employment issues, which are likely to be related to employment and economic development.
