The Ministry of Justice has reactivated the draft of General Maritime Law which ANEN has been involved in for four years. On October 5th representatives of the various fields in the maritime sector were invited to a workshop to present their positions in relation to this draft, before its presentation to the Parliament. AEGY and ANEN on behalf of the industry were the associations summoned to the meeting which jointly made a presentation based on our needs and, in particular, claimed an independent and differential treatment for recreational yachting, compared to the rest of the maritime sector.
Our demands were well received and understood, so much so that the proceeding of the project has been delayed one month, until a proposal that meets the legislative requirements of our industry is presented. The legal advisers of AEGY and ANEN are working together to prepare the text, specially regarding the development of specific regulations for the charter activity, which will have a separate chapter in the draft legislation.
At ANEN we highly value this detail of particular importance for the sector, which means, once and for all a legislative separation of recreational yachting from commercial shipping.
