  (hereinafter referred to as the 'Convention') provides that a regional integration organisation in its instrument of formal confirmation or accession is to declare the extent of its competence with respect to matters governed by the Convention.
  
  The current members of the European Community are the Kingdom of Belgium, the Republic of Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, the Kingdom of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Estonia, the Hellenic Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic, Ireland, the Italian Republic, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Kingdom of the
  Netherlands, the Republic of Austria, the Republic of Poland, the Portuguese Republic, Romania, the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovak Republic, the Republic of Finland, the Kingdom of Sweden and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
  
  The European Community notes that for the purpose of the Convention, the term ?State Parties? applies to regional integration organisations within the limits of their competence.
  
  The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities shall apply, with regard to the competence of the European Community, to the territories in which the Treaty establishing the European Community is applied and under the conditions laid down in that Treaty, in particular Article 299 thereof.
  
  Pursuant to Article 299, this Declaration is not applicable to the territories of the Member States in which the said Treaty does not apply and is without prejudice to such act or positions as may be adopted under the Convention by Member States concerned on behalf and in the interests of those territories.
  
  In accordance with Article 44(1) of the Convention, this Declaration indicates the competences transferred to the Community by the Member States under the Treaty establishing the European Community, in the areas covered by the Convention.
  
  The scope and the exercise of Community competence are, by their nature, subject to continuous development and the Community will complete or amend this Declaration, if necessary, in accordance with Article 44(1) of the Convention.
  
  In some matters the European Community has exclusive competence and in other matters competence is shared between the European Community and the Member States. The Member States remain competent for all matters in respect of which no competence has been transferred to the European Community.
  
  At present:
  
  1. The Community has exclusive competence as regards the compatibility of state aid with the common market and the common custom tariff.
  
  To the extent that provisions of Community law are affected by the provision of the
  Convention, the European Community has an exclusive competence to accept such obligations with respect to its own public administration.

When Community rules exist but are not affected, in particular in cases of Community provisions establishing only minimum standards, the Member States have competence, without prejudice to the competence of the European Community to act in this field. Otherwise competence rests with the Member States. A list of relevant acts adopted by
  the European Community appears in the Appendix hereto. The extent of the European Community's competence ensuing from these acts must be assessed by reference to the precise provisions of each measure, and in particular, the extent to which these provisions establish common rules.
  
  3. The following EC policies may also be relevant to the UN Convention: Member States and the Community shall work towards developing a coordinated strategy for employment. The Community shall contribute to the development of quality of education by encouraging cooperation between Member States and, if necessary, by supporting and supplementing their action. The Community shall implement a vocational training policy which shall support and supplement the action of the Member States. In order to promote its overall harmonious development, the Community shall develop and pursue its actions leading to the strengthening
  of its economic and social cohesion. The Community conducts a development cooperation policy and economic, financial and technical cooperation with third countries without prejudice to the respective competences of the Member States.

Until the withdrawal of the reservation a disabled person whose disability results from a mental illness or mental disability and who is of marriageable age, can not get married without the court's approval based on the statement that the health or mental condition of that person does not jeopardize the marriage, nor the health of prospective children and on condition that such a person has not been fully incapacitated. These conditions result from Article 12 ?? 1 of the Polish Code on Family and Guardianship (Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland of 1964, No. 9, item 59, with subsequent amendments).
  
  Interpretative Declaration
  
  The Republic of Poland declares that it will interpret Article 12 of the Convention in a way allowing the application of the incapacitation, in the circumstances and in the manner set forth in the domestic law, as a measure indicated in Article 12.4, when a person suffering from a mental illness, mental disability or other mental disorder in unable to control his or her conduct.

  Declarations:
  
  
  The French Republic declares that it will interpret the term "consent" in article 15 of the Convention in conformity with international instruments, in particular those that relate to human rights and biomedicine, and with national legislation, which is in line with these instruments. This means that, as far as biomedical research is concerned, the term "consent" applies to two different situations:
  
  
  1. Consent given by a person who is able to consent, and
  2. In the case of persons who are not able to give their consent, permission given by their representative or an authority or body provided for by law.
  The French Republic considers it important that persons who are unable to give their free and informed consent receive specific protection, without prejudice to all medical research of benefit to them. In addition to the permission referred to under paragraph 2 above, other protective measures, such as those included in the above-mentioned international instruments, are considered to be part of this protection.
  With regard to article 29 of the Convention, the exercise of the right to vote is a component of legal capacity that may not be restricted except in the conditions and in accordance with the modalities provided for in article 12 of the Convention.

  OBJECTION TO THE RESERVATION MADE BY SINGAPORE UPON RATIFICATION
  26 June 2014.
  ???The Government of Romania has examined the reservation made by the Government of
  Singapore to articles 12, 25 and 29 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (2006)
  and appreciates that a reservation which consists of references to national law may raise doubts as to the
  commitment of the reserving state to fulfill its obligations under the Convention.
  In accordance to article 29 of the Convention, the exercise of the right to vote is a component
  of the legal capacity which cannot be restricted except under the conditions and in the manner provided
  by article 12 of the Convention, not as provided in paragraph 1 and 3 of the reservation, by applying the
  domestic legal framework.
  Regarding paragraph 2 of the reservation, the Government of Romania appreciates that article
  25 (e) of the Convention is applicable to the private health insurers too. The Convention does not create
  an exception for this category and does not make a distinction between state and private insurers. The
  prohibition of discrimination against persons with disabilities regarding the provision of heath
  insurances, applies to all categories of insurers (including private ones).
  The Government of Romania considers that the reservation made by Singapore subordinates
  the application of some fundamental provisions of the Convention to its domestic law, being
  incompatible to its object and purpose, which consist in the obligation to protect the fundamental rights
  of the persons with disabilities.
  Such a reservation is also, in view of the Government of Romania, subject to the general
  principle of treaty interpretation and to Article 27 of the Vienna Convention of the Law of Treaties,
  according to which a party may not invoke the provisions of its domestic law as justification for failure
  to perform its treaty obligations.
  The objection shall not otherwise affect the entry into force of the Convention between
  Romania and Singapore.???
