MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR SHIP AGENTS AND SHIP BROKERS

MINIMUM STANDARDS FOR SHIP AGENTS AND SHIP BROKERS

Centar Ujedinjenih naroda za olakšavanje trgovine i elektroničko poslovanje (UN/CEFACT) izdao je nove minimalne standarde za pomorske agente i brokere.

FONASBA je aktivno sudjelovala na izradi i ažuriranju ovog dokumenta.

Važnije promjene su:

  • The Standards are a recommendation, not mandatory
  • The scope has expanded to include shipbrokers
  • The document now links to the revised IMO FAL Convention
  • It incorporates the FAL Convention definition of ship agent and
  • Recognizes the FONASBA Quality Standard and Code of Conduct
  • Sections of the FQS minimum criteria are quoted verbatim in the text
  • The position of the “national authority” and of the “professional association” are clarified. Only national authorities currently exercising powers to regulate are covered
  • The objectives of the standards in relation to illicit trade and practices and digital/cyber fraud are expanded
