Match the precise treaty instruments
The deposit lists covered agreements with original and amending instruments, signature and entry-into-force dates. It then identifies existing provisions and Singapore choices article by article. For example, Singapore reserves the entire dividend-transfer article8 and commissionnaire article12, chooses Option B for specified-activity exemptions, and notifies existing principal-purpose provisions. A treaty name alone is insufficient to determine which rule is replaced.
Use the deposit with the counterpart position
The MAP notification preserves Singapore alternative minimum-standard approach and identifies agreements with different existing presentation periods. Arbitration choices and reservations follow separately. Compare the partner position and compatibility clauses, then consult later notifications and domestic implementation for current application. The document establishes what was deposited in 2018, not a self-contained statement of every later treaty modification.
