Summary:
Every relatively convex-compact convex subset of a locally convex space is contained in a Banach disc. Moreover, an upper bound for the class of sets which are contained in a Banach disc is presented. If the topological dual $E'$ of a locally convex space $E$ is the $\sigma (E',E)$-closure of the union of countably many $\sigma (E',E)$-relatively countably compacts sets, then every weakly (relatively) convex-compact set is weakly (relatively) compact.
