423. After recalling the relevant provisions of its concluding observations adopted in 1998⁴ and in 2001,⁵ and in accordance with article 9 (1) of the Convention and article 65 of its rules of procedure, the Chairman drew the attention of the State party to a list of questions to which it wished to receive a response at the latest by 31 December 2005, so that the matter could be discussed at its sixty-eighth session.

424. The Chairman also reiterated the wish of the Committee to pursue the constructive dialogue with the Government of Ukraine and to underline that this request for further information was made with a view to ensuring the implementation of the Convention in cooperation with the State party. The Committee further reminded the State party that the seventeenth and eighteenth periodic reports of Ukraine, to be submitted in one document, were due on 6 April 2004. The Committee therefore strongly encouraged the State party to submit its overdue periodic report as soon as possible.
