Resumen

Objective: To organise the prevention, collection, deposit and reception of waste to protect the environment and ensure the safety and well-being of navigation personnel and users.

Summary of provisions: Article 1 defines inter alia the different types of wastes covered by this Convention while article 2 specifies its geographical scope. Contracting Parties undertake to ensure that the prohibition to throw, pour or allow the run off of waste occurring on board or in parts of the cargo is respected (art. 3.1 and art. 3.2). Article 3.3 allows for certain exceptions limited by conditions specified in annex 2 and implementation rules. Contracting Parties agree to establish, and co-ordinate on a national level, an adequate network of receiving stations on the waterways (art.4.1). They further agree to introduce uniform financing modalities for the reception and elimination of waste occurring on board (art.5), for the reception and elimination of oily and greasy waste occurring during the use and maintenance of the vessel (art. 6) and for other wastes occurring in that case (art.7). Article 8 focuses on financing the unloading of leftovers, cleaning, as well as reception and elimination of waste related to the cargo. Each Contracting State assigns to a national institution the responsibility of the organisation of the uniform financing system (art.9)All persons on board, the charterer, the operator of the vessel, the recipient of the cargo are required to exercise vigilance to avoid pollution of the waterways, limit as much as possible the amount of waste occurring on board and avoid mixing different categories of wastes (art.11).

Institutional mechanisms: An international body for coordination and financial regulation is instituted (art. 10). The Contracting Parties establish a Conference of the Parties to supervise the implementation of this Convention (art.14). The Secretariat of the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine serves as Secretariat for the international body (art. 10.5) and the Conference of the Parties (art.15). Contracting Parties are to punish violations of the obligations contained in the Convention and its implementation rules according to their national legislation (art.16).
