Text 

 

 

23 

The delegations of the Member States of the European Union declare that the Member States of the European Union will apply the Instruments adopted by the Plenipotentiary Conference (Guadalajara, 2010)
in accordance with their obligations under the Treaty on the European Union and the Treaty on functioning of the European Union. 

 

 

39 

At the time of signing the Final Acts of the Plenipotentiary Conference (Guadalajara, 2010), the delegations of the mentioned countries formally declare that they maintain the declarations and reservations made by their countries when signing the Final Acts of previous treaty-making conferences of the Union as if they were made in full at this Plenipotentiary Conference. 

 

 

 

85 

The delegations of the above-mentioned States, referring
to the declaration made by Mexico (No. 70), inasmuch as these and any similar statements refer to the Bogotá Declaration
of 3 December 1976 by equatorial countries and to the claims
of those countries to exercise sovereign rights over segments
of the geostationary-satellite orbit, or to any related claims, consider
that the claims in question cannot be recognized by this conference. 

The above-mentioned delegations also wish to state that the referencing Article 44 of the Constitution to the "geographical situation of particular countries" does not imply recognition of a claim to any preferential rights to the geostationary-satellite orbit.
