6 Revised statement of commitments
6.1 Introduction
This chapter contains the revised Statement of Commitments (SoCs).
Following the exhibition of the EA between 19 September and 20 October 2008, 60 submissions from
stakeholders were received and analysed.
These submissions and ongoing fieldwork have formed the basis for the revised SoCs.
6.2 Statement of commitments
The revised SoCs in the following table include:
• An objective.
• Details of the high level, principle based commitment.
• The timing of when the commitment applies.
Reference to any of the key sections of the EA, documents of guiding principles that influence the objective and
implementation of the commitment.
