Nearly one hundred participants from several European countries attended the conference. The new limitation of liability convention CLNI 2012 was i.a. discussed during the conference. In addition, the implementation of the Convention into national law was dealt with. Also, the guidelines on how to transpose the CLNI into national law, which were developed by the Legal Committee of IVR, were presented.
We proudly look back on two successful and informative days!
Dr. Martin Fischer, the chair of the Legal Committee of the IVR, handed the guidelines on how to transpose the CLNI into national law over to the representatives of the Danube Commission and the Central Commission for the Rhine. These Guidelines were developed by the Legal Committee of IVR in order to support a broad deployment of the convention as well as the Judgements CLNI/CNMI.
