1 ~``~~~.~~ME IN~~~2 CMI ~~ ~il 1R97 n~ 26 April 2016 COMITE MARITIME INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT Presidents of MLAs Dear President By Assembly Meeting, New York refer to my letters of 24 March and 11 April with which I enclosed materials for the Assembly Meeting in New York. I am pleased to be able to attach an amended Agenda and some further attachments. You already have all the relevant attachments that come within Attachment 2 except the budget for 2016, which will be discussed at the Executive Council meeting prior to the Assembly meeting and that will be available from the Secretariat Office prior to the Assembly meeting. The same applies to Attachments 3 and 4 as the applications referred to there will also be discussed at the Executive Council meeting in New York before the Assembly Meeting. You should already have Attachments 17 and 19, being the reports of the Future of CMI and Nominating Committee. Attachment 5 is also still awaited. am therefore attaching those attachments identified as 6 to 17 in the attached amended Agenda. have added to Attachment 6 a paper by Giorgio Berlingieri on "The Need of a Convention on Foreign Judicial Sales of Ships and their Recognition", as well as the list of delegates who attended the IMO Legal Committee meeting last year. You may find Giorgio's paper to be of assistance when you contact your country's delegate who will be attending the IMO Legal Committee meeting in June this year.

2 ~, ( ~ ~ ~ Report of the CMI IWG on Recognition of Foreign Judicial Sales of Ships Chair: Henry Hai Li Rapporteur: Jonathan Lux Andrew Robinson 8 Apri12016 Attachment 6 In reply to the letter dated 17 March 2016 of the President of the CMI, the IWG on JSS makes its report adopting the headings proposed in the said Ietter as follows: 1. Any developments in your Working Group or Committee since the Istanbul Conference After the CMI Colloquium in Istanbul, the IWG continued its work and focused their efforts on (1) dealing with the issues raised by the delegations attending IMO LEG Session 102 in respect of the CMI's information paper in relation to the proposed draft convention and (2) making preparation for the submission of a formal proposal paper to the IMO LEG Session 103 which is scheduled to take place on 8-10 June As mentioned in our last report, as the CMI is an NGO, it does not have the capacity to submit any formal proposal to be included into the agenda of the IMO LEG sessions. Therefore, the IWG in the past months has tried its best to find and convince IMO ~~ member states to co-sponsor the CMI's proposal, and eventually it has successfully convinced China and Korea (Republic of Korea) to co-sponsor the CMI's proposal to be submitted to the IMO LEG Session 103. In addition, the IWG has gathered some further information and/or matezials which may further demonstrate the so-called "connpelling need" as required by the IMO to have a new convention as proposed by the CMI. The IWG, after several months' hard work of drafting, discussing, and revising, has finalized the proposal paper to be submitted to the IMO LEG Session 103. The paper was firstly drafted by Andrew Robinson and was discussed and finalized within the IWG with very valuable contributions provided by the CMI President Stuart Hetherington. It is worth mentioning that usefiil and valuable assistance vvas received in I

3 4 i ; ~ C ~ finalizing the paper so that it met with the IMO requirements from Mr. Frederick Kenney and Dr. Dorota Lost-Sieminska (both are officers of the IMO Legal Committee), to whom the IWG wishes to express its sincere thanks. The finalized Proposal Paper was sent by CMI President to IMO Legal Committee on 31 March 2016, and the paper has been confirmed to have been included into the agenda of IMO LEG Session 103 as document LEG 103/13. The IWG has also made preparation to attend the IMO LEG Session 103, not only to speak for the CMI but also to provide necessary technical support to the co-sponsors, i.e. China and Korea. And, the IWG has also made preparation to conduct a lunch break presentation during the IMO LEG Session 103 to introduce the CMI's proposal, to provide in details the rationale to have a new convention as proposed by the CMI, and C_ to answer any questions that the delegates may raise; 2. A brief description of the activities which your Working Group or Committee will be undertaking in New York; During the New York conference, there will be a one-hour session on JSS. This session will try to provide with the attendants as much as possible information about what happened with the CMI Draft Convention on JSS since the CMI Hamburg Conference. Jonathan Lux will report on what has occurred at the IMO LEG 102 Session (including the three issues/hurdles raised by the delegates attending the IMO LEG Session 102 in last June, namely the compelling need, the IMO capacity, the IMO member state ~J co-sponsor), and Andrew Robinson will report on what has been prepared for and will be undertaken at the forthcoming IMO LEG Session 103 with respect to the CMI Draft Convention on JSS during 8-10 June In addition, this session will be used to encourage or urge the CMI's member associations to try their best to convince their respective governments to support the CMI proposal which China and Korea have confirmed to co-sponsor at the forthcoming IMO LEG Session 103 and to gather as much as possible input from the attendants as regards how the three issues/hurdles can be better addressed or dealt with at the forthcoming IMO LEG Session

4 The anticipated outcome or possible outcomes,fyom the meeting in New YoYk of those activities; It is hoped that the attendants to the abovementioned one-hour session will obtain a better understanding of the current status of the CMI draft convention on judicial sales of ships and will realize that their assistance is still required especially with a view to convincing their respective governments to support the joint proposal by China, Korea and CMI at the forthcoming IMO LEG Session 103. It is also hoped that the attendants to the one-hour session will provide suitable examples to the CMI IWG in support of the "compelling need" for a new convention on recognition of foreign judicial sales, so that the "compelling need" can be better demonstrated at the IMO LEG Session 103 by the attending CMI representatives. 4. Your future intentions in relation to your Working Group or Comrrcittee. Having realized that lobbying governments is now the key, the IWG will continue its efforts to solicit support from the IMO member states, with a hope the joint proposal maybe accepted and/or approved at the forthcoxning IMO LEG Session 103. ~~ 3

39 THE NEED OF A CONVENTION ON FOREIGN JUDICIAL SALES OF SHIPS AND THEIR RECOGNITION GIORGIO BERLINGIERI~ applaud the initiative to publish a book in homage to the dear friend Aurelio Fernandez Concheso to mark his devotion to the study of maritime law and I am very pleased to have been given the possibility to contribute with an article. review a topic he studied as a member of the International Working Group of Comite Maritime International. The idea to look at the issue of recognition of foreign judicial sales of ships started at the CMI Conference of Athens in 2008 following a proposal by the Executive Council of the CMI in It was acknowledged by the Executive Council that several problems had arisen in some jurisdictions in respect of the recognition of judicial sales of ships by foreign Courts which were not accepting a valid title given by a Court of another country. The consequence for the successful bidder was that often he was unable to obtain a certificate of deletion from the previous ships' registry in order to be able to register the ship in a new registry of his choice. The CMI set up an International Working Group to study this issue, chaired by Henry Li of the Chinese MLA, and with Jonathan Lux (UK) and Lawrence Teh (Singapore) acting as Rapporteurs. Aurelio was a member of the International Working Group together with Andrew Robinson (South Africa), Frank Smeele (Netherlands), William Sharpe (Canada), Frank Nolan (USA), Benoit Goemans (Belgium) and Klaus Ramming (Germany). Vice President of the Comite Maritime International, Vice President for Italy of the Ibero American Institute of Maritime Law, President of the Italian Maritime law Association, Senior Partner Studio Legale Berlingieri, Editor of CMI Publications, Chairman of the CMI IWG on the Study relating to Liability for Wrongful Arrest.

40 2 The International Working Group met often, also in the occasion of the events of the CMI in Rotterdam 2009, Buenos Aires 2010, Oslo 2011, Beijing 2012 and Dublin Much work was done at the 2010 CMI Colloquium of Buenos Aires, with meetings and presentations at dedicated Sessions. In particular a paper was presented by Aurelio, who made a remarkable review of the concept of judicial sale and considered whether there was a definition of such term in the various legal systems and in the International Conventions. In the very interesting article he wrote and in his address at the CMI Colloquium Aurelio expressed the view that there was a lack of an express definition in the different legislations and strongly promoted the materialization of an instrument to set a frame of rules regarding recognition of foreign judicial sales of ships. The idea of a specific instrument on recognition of foreign judicial sales of ship was not shared by the entirety of the National Associations members of Comite Maritime International. In fact a certain number of them were of the view that an international instrument on judicial sales was not required since the issue was already covered by articles 11 and 12 of the 1993 Convention on Maritime Liens and Mortgages. However, out of the 18 States' parties to that Convention, only a few are traditionally maritime countries or have a relevant ship's tonnage. A possible reason of such little success might be that, with the aim of facilitating ships' financing, the number of maritime liens that have priority over the mortgages and hypotheques has been significantly reduced. This is the case for some of the claims enumerated in art. 2(1) and for all those enumerated in art. 2(5) of the 1926 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention. 1 Albania, Benin, Congo, Ecuador, Estonia, Lithuania, Monaco, Nigeria, Peru, Russian Federation, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Serbia, Spain, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, Ukraine, Vanuatu.

41 3 With regard to the 1926 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention, although there are 28 countries parties to itz no common law country is amongst them, as is the case for the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention. The CMI therefore considered that a specific convention on judicial sale was needed, both because it would attract common law countries and because its scope could be wider that that covered by the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention. It was therefore decided to continue with the study and quite an extensive work was done by the International Working Group also at the CMI Conference in Beijing when the draft instrument, consisting of 10 articles, was refined and amended. At Hamburg in June 2014 the International Working Group met constantly, attending at the last corrections. There was a significant debate and discussion on many items, including the definitions in article 1, in which only the mortgage was included amongst the terms defined. However the word "hypotheque" was finally added whenever the word "mortgage" was mentioned. The Draft Convention produced by the International Working Group of the CMI was then proposed for adoption to the Assembly of the CMI which convened the 17 June The proposal, made by China and seconded by Australia/New Zealand was accepted by 24 National Maritime Law Associations3 with two National Maritime Law Associations abstaining4. z Algeria, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Haiti, Hungary, Iran, Italy, Lebanon, Luxembourg, Madagascar, Monaco, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey, Uruguay, Zaire. 3 Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, Malta, Nigeria, Norway, New Zealand, Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, United States, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey. 4 Brazil, Poland.

42 The need of a convention dedicated exclusively to judicial sale lies mainly on the fact that the title obtained by the buyer of the ship sold in execution of a judicial sale must be recognized in jurisdictions different from that of the registration of the ship or of that where the judicial sale takes place. It is then of enormous practical importance that the buyer is able to obtain a certificate of deletion from the previous registry which allows him to proceed with the registration of the ship in a new registry of his choice. Such points are covered by the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention under art. 11. However the issue regarding judicial sales of ships is a rather comprehensive one, which means that in addition to the points already considered in the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention, a number of other points are necessary to be dealt with by an international convention. The CMI therefore deemed it desirable to have a particular international convention to set forth only principles or rules in the matter of judicial sales, without mixing other matters such as liens and mortgages. The International Working Group of the CMI and all those participating to the works of the International Sub Committee and attending to the drafting made an excellent job, devoting particular attention to avoid any conflicts with the provisions on judicial sales contained in the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention. This may be appreciated if a comparison is made between the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention and the new CMI Draft Convention. with regard to the scope of application, while the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention adopts the connecting factor based on the nationality of the ships and on the jurisdiction of a State Party, the CMI Draft Convention does not indicate any connecting factor and does not indicate its scope of application. However it would appear that the intended scope of application is worldwide, and is not limited to States Parties. That is confirmed by art. 9- Reservation, that so provides: States parties may by reservation restrict the application of this Convention to recognition of Judicial Sales conducted in States Parties.

43 5 As to notice requirements, the provision in art. 3(2) of the CMI Draft Convention, regarding Bareboat Charter registration and deadline with the notice to the registrar of the State in which the ship is temporarily registered, corresponds to the following provision in art. 16(e) of the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention, in which temporary change of flag is regulated: (e) The notice referred to in article 11 shall be given also to the competent authority on charge of the vessel's record in the State whose flag the vessel is permitted to fly temporarily. Save some particulars that are not significant, there do not appear to be differences between the two provisions and consequently a conflict between them does not exist. In relation to the effect of the judicial sale, while in the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention the transfer of title to the ship to the buyer is implied in the subsequent statement in para. 5 that the ship is registered in the name of the purchaser, in the CMI Draft Convention there is an express provision to that effect. The provisions on the extinction of the encumbrances are similar, but those in the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention are wider in scope, since reference is made to "registered mortgages, hypotheques and charges" and to "liens and other encumbrances of whatsoever nature", whilst in the CMI Draft Convention reference is made to "any mortgage/hypotheque or charge". r The subsequent statement in the CMI Draft Convention that the sale does not entail the extinction of the claims against the seller in respect of the outstanding amount of such claims has no corresponding provision in the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention, and on the other side this is also the situation in respect of the provisions of the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention in respect of the distribution amongst the creditors of the proceeds of sale. On the issuance of a certificate of judicial sale, while art. 12(5) of the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention is very concise, art. 5 of the CMI Draft Convention, pars. 1 of which substantially corresponds to the Convention rule, contains in para. 2 a detailed list of the information that must be included in the certificate. Therefore also in this connection there does not appear to be a conflict between the Convention and the CMI Draft Convention.

44 0 In respect of the deletion of the ship from the register and new registration, the text of art. 6(1) of the CMI Draft Convention corresponds to that of the second sentence of art. 12(5) of the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention. That of art. 6(2) corresponds to that of art. 16 of the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention in which reference is made to the preceding art. 11. The text of art. 6(3) and (4) of the CMI Draft Convention has no equivalent provision in the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention, but does not alter its meaning. Finally and with reference to the recognition of judicial sale, art. 7(1) of the CMI Draft Convention sets out the same rules set out in art. 12(5) of the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention. For a better comparison of the provisions in the two Conventions considered above, the relating articles of the CMI Draft Convention and of the 1993 Maritime Liens and Mortgages Convention are listed herebelow: Scope of application CMI DRAFT CONVENTION 1993 MLM CoNVENT~oN Art, 2: Art.13: This Convention shall apply to the 1.
