IMPRS-Conference "The Pollution of the Seas - Prevention and Compensation" (6 / 7 May 2005)
The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) for Maritime Affairs at the University of Hamburg invites to the conference "The Pollution of the Seas - Prevention and Compensation". It will take place at the premises of the
International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea
Am Internationalen Seegerichtshof 1
22609 Hamburg
Germany.
At present, the use of the sea is very intensive and in all likelihood will even increase in the near future through accelerated growth of the world's population and the liberalization of international trade. The increased use of the seas is also fostered by regional developments such as the eastward enlargement of the European Union, which emphasizes the role of the European seas.
One consequence of this intensified use is a higher degree of pollution, e.g. through shipping accidents, oil spills from bunker tanks, and dumping practices. Against this background the speakers of the conference analyse possibilities to strengthen prevention of marine pollution and examine whether the existing compensation schemes for marine environmental damages are sufficient.

New book release: Benjamin Parameswaran - The Liberalization of Maritime Transport Services - With Special Reference to the WTO/GATS Framework
Benjamin Parameswaran - The Liberalization of Maritime Transport Services - With Special Reference to the WTO/GATS Framework
The first book in the newly founded series "Hamburg Studies on Maritime Affairs" has been released. Written by the IMPRS Scholar Benjamin Parameswaran, it touches on the currently debated question on how to liberalize the market for maritime transport services. Despite multiple efforts on the bilateral, regional and multilateral level to create uniform or at least harmonized rules for commercial operations and practices in the maritime transport sector and to liberalize maritime transport services by tearing down the barriers that exist in that sector, there is until today no global regime regulating (or rather deregulating) the supply of maritime transport services and ensuring open markets. In this situation, private economic actors are confronted with substantial legal uncertainty.
Parameswaran's study provides a detailed analysis of the history of maritime transport services in the Uruguay and post-Uruguay Round negotiations and the role of the sector in the ongoing Doha Round talks, where Member States have the opportunity to work towards a global regime ensuring the progressive liberalization of the sector. The reader will be confronted with an extensive overview of the role of maritime transport services in the WTO/GATS framework, a topic basically uncovered in the literature so far.
