Text and language scope
Retained BMF source attribution and SHA-256 verified against R3 manifest and historical agent audit, not a fresh network/source-authority determination. Original first PDF page shows gazette page465; treaty begins on printed page466. BMF/manifest citation is BGBl. 1984 II S. 466. This citation is not a statement that the implementing law begins on the treaty's first page. Original and OCR PDF page boxes differ (593.28x841.86 vs593.67x842.4pt); proportional geometry, not pixel identity. Consent law visually dated8May1984 on source PDF1. Retained audit consent-law field is unresolved; both facts disclosed, no upstream metadata changed. ORIGINAL EDITION, unreviewed retained OCR. German and Spanish are printed and named in the closing authenticity clause; no third authentic language is named there, and no third language column was observed in this retained PDF. Spanish is a separate coordinate partition, not the R3 mixed bilingual extraction. No missing authentic language identified from this source clause; this does not certify full-language wording accuracy or external source availability. Unreviewed coordinate-based machine transcription of this original source edition only. OCR words are unchanged; rows reconstructed by word coordinates. Known misspellings and damaged numerals remain visible. Source-observed structural paragraph IDs may differ from erroneous OCR numerals. This is not exact legal transcription. Treaty preamble, closing formula, protocol and shared signatures are separate retained assets, not part of the last article. Full supplements: /review/de-ecuador-1984-base/. PDF page links identify pages, not verified paragraph correspondence. Printed accompanying protocol is separate from treaty articles. Protocol sections1–3, shared treaty and protocol signatures, publisher furniture on PDF16 retained. No separate protocol closing formula printed. Ecuador consent-law date visually reads8May1984; retained audit field remains null, surfaced as unresolved audit metadata.
