The Committee notes that the Government in its first report on the application of the Convention indicates that effect is given to the Convention, inter alia, by the Act of 21 December 2005 on internal and maritime navigation (Text No. 927). As the relevant legislation has not been available to the Committee, it requests the Government to provide further information on measures taken to give effect to this Convention. With reference to its general observation on the application of this Convention in 2007, the Committee also requests the Government to provide information on the manner in which the Convention is applied in relation to modern methods of cargo handling, with particular reference to containers, and to indicate any difficulties encountered in this regard.
