² At its 4^th session, from 15 January to 2 February 1990, the Committee adopted a new reporting schedule, as approved by ECOSOC in its Resolution 1988/4 of 24 May 1988, to take effect from 30 June 1990. The new reporting schedule had the result of consolidating the procedure of reporting so that three reports for three different sets of articles in the Convention was no longer required. In the case of those states which had submitted initial or periodic reports on only one or two of the three distinct sets of articles, consolidation of the reporting procedure did not eliminate responsibility to submit a further initial or periodic report which would cover the articles missing in previous reports. Hence, the post 1990 reporting schedule might require a further "initial" or similar numbered periodic report.

³ This report was submitted to and considered by the Economic and Social Council prior to the creation of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which began to consider reports in 1987. Further information is unavailable.

⁴ On 15 November 2000, the State party requested that the consideration of the second periodic report be postponed. The Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights adopted preliminary recommendations on 21 November 2000, and requested that the third periodic report be submitted by 30 June 2002.

⁵ In its concluding observations adopted on 13 May 2005, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights requested that the State party submit its second periodic report by 30 June 2010.

⁶ UNMIK is the United Nations Interim Administration in Kosovo.

⁷ In its concluding observations adopted on 18 November 2008, the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights did not set a date for the submission of a further report.
