Academics discuss the Luxembourg Rail Protocol in Nijmegen.

9th November 2017

The 9th Transnational Commercial Law Teachers’ meeting took place in Nijmegen at Radboud University on 2nd/3rd November. The focus of the conference was sustainability. RWG Treasurer Benjamin von Bodungen and RWG Chairman Howard Rosen gave a joint presentation on both the Luxembourg Rail Protocol and the proposed MAC (Mining, Agricultural and Construction Equipment) Protocol. Howard Rosen spoke particularly about the environmental benefits of shifting both freight and passengers onto the rails and that a key to doing this was to find cost effective financing – which was where the Luxembourg Rail Protocol came in.

At the end of the first day, the doyen of the Cape Town Convention, Professor Sir Roy Goode spoke, as the guest of honour, at a dinner for meeting participants at the University.
