II (A) The conference, urgently recommends that the states which have already ratified the Rome convention expedite ratification of the supplementary protocol mentioned in paragraph (b) of section I, above. (B) The conference, considering that it has prepared a protocol to determine the conditions of application of article 12 of the International Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to Damages Caused by Aircraft to Third Parties on the Surface, concluded at Rome on May 29, 1933, considering that the protocol has been declared an integral part of the convention to which it refers, considering that this protocol stipulates that in the future the Rome convention may not be ratified without ratifying simultaneously the protocol itself, recommends, that, beginning with this date, the Italian Government as the depository of the instruments of ratification of and adherence to the above-mentioned Rome convention, not accept any ratification of that convention unless it carries with it at the same time the ratification of the protocol, either in the same act or by a separate act. (C) The conference, considering the increasing progress of transoceanic air traffic and the importance therein of the amount of aerial postal matter, recommends, that the C.I.T.E.J.A., in the interest of the unification of private air law, place on its agenda the question of the contribution by interested parties in the payment of remuneration for assistance, examining in particular the question of the extent to which postal payments should be made to contribute. (D) The conference, considering that the convention signed at Warsaw on October 12, 1929, for the unification of certain rules relating to international transportation by air has been in force for several years as between numerous countries, considering the importance of preserving harmony between international conventions and the ever increasing developments of aviation, considering the usefulness of the preparatory collaboration by the International Technical Committee of Aerial Legal Experts, charges the International Technical Committee of Aerial Legal Experts with the duty of making a study of the Convention signed at Warsaw on October 12, 1929, for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to International Transportation by Air, with a view to determining whether, from the experience acquired in the application of this convention, it would be necessary to improve the text thereof, and, if so, with the duty of preparing the desired modifications or amendments in the form of a draft. (E) The conference, realizing the importance and usefulness of the preparatory work done by the C.I.T.E.J.A., and renewing the recommendation already expressed at Rome by the Third Diplomatic Conference on Private Air Law, recommends, that all Governments represented at the present conference join the C.I.T.E.J.A. in the interest of assisting in the task of unification of laws assigned to the C.I.T.E.J.A. (F) The conference, III not having been able, by reason of the multiplicity of new proposals and the lack of time available, to undertake a careful examination of the draft of the Convention for the Unification of Certain Rules Relating to Aerial Collisions, which had been submitted to the conference, decides to refer consideration of this draft to the next diplomatic conference. Furthermore, in view of the fact that several states have submitted remarks and proposals on that draft, the conference decides to refer these remarks and proposals to the C.I.T.E.J.A., so that the latter may study them and, possibly, also prepare new proposals to be submitted to the Fifth International Conference on Private Air Law.
