  1. ^ Results refer to the final round when more than one vote is required.
  2. ^ Article 6, paragraph 1 of the Treaty requires that instruments of ratification be deposited with the Government of Italy in order for the Treaty to enter into force. Each country deposits the instrument of ratification after its internal ratification process is finalized by all required state bodies (parliament and the head of state). Countries are ordered according to the date of deposition of ratification documents. When two countries have deposited the necessary documents on the same date the order is alphabetical.
