This procedure concerns the EU's accession to an international protocol regarding liability and compensation for damage caused by hazardous and noxious substances carried by sea. It aims to ensure that victims of maritime pollution from such substances receive fair and timely compensation through a coordinated legal framework.

This affects shipping companies, port authorities, and coastal regions. It streamlines judicial cooperation in civil matters to make it easier to hold polluters accountable across different EU member states.
