Us it cannot be complained - the representative of the German shipowners has denounced - if, on one side, Countries as the United States or the United Kingdom preview to withdraw themselves from multilateral agreements, if meanwhile, with a regional special regime, nozzle a torpedo against a total agreement. Special regulations of the EU for the total field of the marine transport - it has evidenced Nagel - put to risk the results of negotiate in center IMO, where up to now important Third-country as the USA, China, Brazil and India has lend their collaboration. Whoever wants to reduce in sustainable way the emissions of co2 - she has concluded the managing director of the VDR - must engage itself to make it through regulations world-wise near the IMO".
