Parties with reservations, declarations and objections
Denmark
14-09-1974
The instrument of ratification of the Kingdom of Denmark contains the reservation that the Convention shall not apply to the Faroe Islands.
Germany
17-12-1971
The following reservation accompanies the signature of the Convention by the Representative
of the Federal Republic of Germany (in the English language):
Pursuant to article 10 of the Convention relating to Civil Liability in the Field
of Maritime Carriage of
Nuclear Material, the Federal Republic of Germany reserves the right to provide by
national law, that the
persons liable under an international convention or national law applicable in the
field of maritime transport may continue to be liable in addition to the operator
of a nuclear installation on condition that these persons are fully covered in respect
of their liability, including defence against unjustified actions, by insurance or
other financial security obtained by the operator.
This reservation was withdrawn at the time of deposit of the instrument of ratification
of the Convention.
01-10-1975
That the said Convention shall also apply to Berlin (West) with effect from the date on which it enters into force for the Federal Republic of Germany.
Italy
21-07-1980
It is understood that the ratification of the said Convention will not be interpreted in such a way as to deprive the Italian State of any right or recourse made according to the international law for the damages caused to the State itself or its citizens by a nuclear accident.
