Regulation No. 26 of 2020 of Minister of the Environment on procedure for submission of data on taxable cargo and report form

The Regulation, based on the provisions of paragraph 233 (6) of the Water Act, establishes the procedure for the submission of data on taxable cargo, including oil, received during the previous calendar year, as well as reporting forms and an indicative list of taxable types of oil. It consists of three sections: Scope of regulation (1); Definitions (2); and Submission of report (3). The Regulation, among others, provides that if the recipient of taxable oil has received hazardous and noxious substances in the manner provided for in 234 of the Water Act and the oil has been received after transport by sea in a state which was a party to the 1992 International Convention on the Establishment of an International Fund for Compensation for Oil Pollution Damage , but was not a party to the 2003 Protocol to that Convention, the recipient of the oil is required to submit a separate report on that oil.
