Geneva (20 November 2012): A new survey on multimetal articles in the 19 Convention's Contracting States has been published on the web site (see "Documents and Statistics").
According to the survey, multimetal articles are defined by law in 14 Contracting States while in 5 Contracting States (Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Portugal) multimetal articles are not legally defined. Ireland and Portugal do not allow such articles, even with the CCM, to be put on their markets while Latvia and Lithuania authorised such articles on their markets, provided that they are labelled.
