In the framework of the Periodic Reporting exercise, the State Party informed that the situation of the area of the Pointe-à-Carcy has remained unchanged since the previous session of the Committee.  After having taken into account the recommendations concerning the project of a cruise ship terminal at Pointe-à-Carcy made by the ICOMOS mission in 2001, the State Party put forward a proposal to extend the boundaries of the property.  Following a negative evaluation by ICOMOS, however, the State Party withdrew the proposed extension and decided to postpone any extension of the Historic District’s perimeter until a later date.  Furthermore, the State Party submitted a proposal for a statement of outstanding universal value for the property to be considered by the Committee.
