Decision ID: 002442

In October 1994 the 1971 Fund Assembly recalled that a Dutch oil storage company, which had argued that the interpretation by the 1971 Fund of the notion of ‘received’ in the 1971 Fund Convention was incorrect, and that it should not be liable to pay contributions to the Fund, had appealed to the Administrative Court of Appeal against a decision by the Minister of Economic Affairs of the Netherlands that it should be considered a ‘receiver’ of oil for the purpose of Article 10 of the 1971 Fund Convention. The Assembly noted that in February 1994 the Administrative Court of Appeal had rejected the appeal lodged by the storage company and that the company had no right of appeal against the decision of that Court.
