among all the signatory countries before the entry into force of the convention CD/630 page 3 and this will have to take into account the technical and financial possibilities of each country, and the time needed for the construction and qualification of the destruction facilities. It would also be desirable to provide for possible intermediate stages so as to allow for the unpredictable in the destruction process (various breakdowns, serious incidents, etc.). For, it is essential that the technical difficulties that may affect the implementation of the time-table for the destruction of stocks should not serve as a means of circumvening the scheduled deadlines. Any significant alteration of the time-table for destruction will have to be the subject of a detailed report to the parties to the convention and, in the case of a delay of more than six months, of a consultation with them. The neutralization of production facilities, although indispensable, is not of itself sufficient to assure the security balance, and therefore the first stage of destruction of stocks should also see a reduction in manufacturing potential through the conversion of some facilities to peaceful uses. The destruction of the remaining facilities should be terminated at the end of the second stage of destruction of stocks. Special cases (a) Countries possessing stocks that become parties only after the beginning of the 10-year period will be subject to a special procedure which, upon the entry into force of the convention with respect to them, would include as the minimum : A detailed declaration of their stocks and, depending on the general deadline schedule, where they are situated or where the places of assembly are situated, along with the establishment of international supervision; A declaration covering production facilities, with the affixing of seals under international supervision.
