Wijziging van Boek 8 van het Burgerlijk Wetboek in verband met de uitvoering van het Verdrag van Straatsburg van 2012 inzake de beperking van aansprakelijkheid in de binnenvaart (CLNI 2012) (Trb. 2013, 72)

This Dutch parliamentary procedure amends Book 8 of the Dutch Civil Code to implement the 2012 Strasbourg Convention on limiting liability in inland navigation (CLNI 2012). The convention sets maximum amounts that owners and operators of inland vessels can be required to pay for certain damages, such as personal injury, property damage, and environmental harm, after an accident. Based on the metadata alone, the bill aims to bring Dutch law in line with this international treaty, which the Netherlands ratified in 2013 (Trb. 2013, 72). The main groups affected are inland shipping companies and vessel owners operating in the Netherlands, along with people or businesses that may claim compensation after an inland waterway accident. The changes would set how far liability can be limited under Dutch civil law. This summary is based only on the procedure's title and classification, not the full legislative text.
