Resumen

This Law prohibits from dumping any waste from a vessel or an aircraft, save under a "permit". The Minister of the Interior shall appoint a Permit Issue Committee to be published (sect. 3). Any person, after receiving a permit, shall report in the prescribed manner on its implementation (sect. 4). Under section 5, the Minister may appoint inspectors who have the power of entry on any vessel or craft, with exceptions. A person who contravenes is subject to penalties (sect. 6). Israel courts are competent also in case of a contravention of this law outside Israel. The master or commander may have a defence, by proving that the dumping occurred as a result of a collision or because of danger to human life (sect. 8). Section 9 provides for liability of expenses that may be required in addition to any penalty for cleansing the sea, for dumping localisation. Provisions may be taken against master or commander who has left the country at any time, within two months from the time he first returns to Israel (sect. 11). Section 13 establishes saving of laws and section 14 applicability to the State. The Minister of the Interior is charged with the implementation and making regulations.
