BEGIN TEXT
DPT I 40-8--2006/JTW/20
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Polish Republic
presents its compliments to the Embassy of the United States
of America in Warsaw and has the honor to inform the Embassy
that on January 15, 2009 the Council of Ministers of the
Polish Republic passed six resolutions regarding approval of
resources agreed by the respective Consultative Meetings of
the Parties to the Antarctic Treaty, which took place during
the period 2002-2007. The Ministry informs the Embassy that
the Polish Republic has fulfilled all the necessary
conditions required by Polish law for binding commitments to
the aforementioned resources, according to the provisions of
Article X, point 4 of the Treaty mentioned above.
Taking into consideration that the Government of the United
States of America is the depositary of the Antarctic Treaty,
the Embassy of the Polish Republic in Washington will soon
submit official notification to this effect to the Department
of State.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Polish Republic takes
this opportunity to renew to the Embassy of the United States
of America in Warsaw the assurances of its highest
consideration.
