Chapter 18: Regulations Governing this Code


Article 87. Official Texts. The Commission may authorize the publication of the Code in any language and under such conditions as it may decide. All such authorized texts are official and are equivalent in force, meaning and authority to the English and French texts [Art. 86.2]. If it appears that there is a difference in meaning between official texts, the problem is to be referred to the Commission, whose interpretation shall be final.

"All such authorized texts are official and are equivalent in force, meaning and authority to the English and French texts [Art. 86.2]. If it appears that there is a difference in meaning between official texts, the problem is to be referred to the Commission, whose interpretation shall be final."
This passage should be replaced.
"All such authorized texts are official, but are inferior in force, meaning and authority to the English and French texts [Art. 86.2]. Only in passages where the English and French literal texts are in obvious contrast to assumed general principles of the Code, and where an official text in a third language differs from the French or English text, the text of the third language shall be decisive."
