Of course it would be "absurd" which is why Valettaa's article 3 states the state should be instituting formal procedures to supervise this, but the paragraphs of PPG16 you pointed to - however you want to extend their meaning - do NOT actually say the same as Article 3 which Britain has not implemented in any way since signing the 1969 convention and and its revised version and (quite apart from the question of the status of PPG16 itself) I am puzzled why you are trying to make out they do.
