Anmerkung: � wie beim
VN-Flussgebiets�bereinkommen � Deutschland hat gezeichnet (21.12.98), aber
immer noch nicht ratifiziert ... und dar�ber hinaus bei der Zeichnung folgenden
Vorbehalt erkl�rt:
�The text of the Convention
raises a number of difficult questions regarding its practical implementation
in the German legal system which it was not possible to finally resolve during
the period provided for the signing of the Convention. These questions require
careful consideration, including a consideration of the legislative
consequences, before the Convention becomes binding under international law.
The Federal Republic of
Germany assumes that implementing the Convention through German administrative
enforcement will not lead to developments which counteract efforts towards
deregulation and speeding up procedures.�
