Onderzoek naar de toepassing van Artikel 32 van de Akte van Mannheim in de 5 Rijnstaatlanden

Nov 1, 2017 - Dec 31, 2017

Project description

This project examined the application of the Revised Rhine Navigation Act of 1868 (Mannheim Act), an international agreement that regulates vessel traffic on the Rhine. In particular, it examined how its five member states deal with legal inequality arising from the distinction made between violations committed on the Rhine and on other inland shipping routes. Based on the findings of this comparative research, the research report comprised a number of options on how to deal with legal inequality in the future. Consultant and former Asser researcher Steffen van der Velde conducted this research project, commissioned by the Netherlands Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.
