Background. The Ocean Cleanup seeks to remove as much floating plastic as possible from the oceans. To do so, it plans to deploy a number of floating systems to each gyre. Such gyres are areas in which the concentration of plastic is generally significantly greater than in other parts of the ocean. Plastic that drifts into a gyre becomes trapped there for decades, gradually disintegrating into ever smaller pieces. The systems will be transported to the high seas by ship and positioned in the gyres. These systems will be an estimated one to two kilometres long and will not be fixed to the seabed or actively steered or controlled. Since the system’s relative velocity will differ from that of the floating plastic, it will be able to collect plastic that is floating in the gyres. Periodically, a ship will sail to each system to take on board the collected plastic, which will then be brought back to land for recycling. The systems will move at a relatively low velocity of one to two knots, and will be followed from a distance. In 2018, The Ocean Cleanup will deploy a single system in the gyre in the North Pacific Ocean from San Francisco in the United States. The intention is to deploy multiple systems of a similar kind over the next few years to all the subtropical gyres (the North Pacific Gyre, South Pacific Gyre, Indian Ocean Gyre, North Atlantic Gyre and South Atlantic Gyre). This agreement has been drafted so as to take into account the continuous development of the system’s design, with a view to maximising its performance, expanding the number of systems, and increasing the number of areas in which the systems will be deployed. Removing plastic from the upper surface layer of the ocean is an essential and appealing part of the plan to rid the oceans of waste. The Netherlands values innovative developments that promote the government’s policy objectives. At the same time, States have a duty of care in relation to all operations, activities and processes that are conducted under their jurisdiction or control outside those areas where they exercise sovereign rights under the terms of various international conventions (e.g. on the basis of article 194, paragraph 2 of UNCLOS). Since Stichting The Ocean Cleanup and The Ocean Cleanup Projects B.V. are both Dutch legal entities, the Netherlands has an obligation to ensure that the activities undertaken by The Ocean Cleanup are at least in accordance with international standards in order to guarantee that the marine environm...

Background. The Ocean Cleanup has as its objective to rid the world’s oceans of plastic by using self-developed technologies. The Ocean Cleanup has developed a system to clean up the amount of plastic floating in the upper surface layer of the oceans, more specifically in the accumulation zones such as the five subtropical gyres. The Minister wishes to facilitate and support these activities of The Ocean Cleanup as fully as possible. As the system is unique in its kind, there is no applicable legislation or any other ready-made legal framework. That is why an Agreement setting out the arrangements between the two parties was drawn up in 2018. At the time the Agreement was drawn up, The Ocean Cleanup intended to remove the plastic by having the system transported by ship to the high seas, where it would then be positioned. The system would not be fixed to the seabed, nor actively steered or controlled. The system has now been developed further by The Ocean Cleanup and in consequence is now towed by two slow-moving vessels. The Ocean Cleanup has shown that this method is effective in cleaning up floating plastic as it removed 346,435 kilograms of plastic from the ocean during the test and validation phase. Since it was taken into account that the system design would continue to be developed at the time the Agreement was drawn up in 2018, the Agreement has remained workable. The term of the Agreement was therefore extended in 2023 following evaluation. However, in view of the change in the working method employed by The Ocean Cleanup, it is desirable that the Agreement be amended and updated. In the context of the Agreement, The Ocean Cleanup prepared an environmental impact assessment in 2022, in which it investigated the impact of system 002 on the marine environment. This environmen- tal impact assessment was then independently evaluated by Bureau Waardenburg at the State’s request. In keeping with the advice in Bureau Xxxxxxxxxxx’x draft report, The Ocean Cleanup modified its activities in a number of ways. Bureau Waardenburg subsequently drew up a final report in which it noted, based on the 2022 environmental impact assessment and The Ocean Cleanup’s written response to the draft report, that The Ocean Cleanup is taking the necessary precautionary measures to reduce their environmental impact. Bureau Waardenburg concluded that the mitigating measures taken were observed to be effective, and that The Ocean Cleanup had adopted an adaptive management approach to feed ...

Background. Prior to the financial crisis of 2008 Glitnir Bank was the third largest in Iceland. At the end of 2007 its balance sheet amounted to ISK 2,949 billion (EUR c. 32,3 billion) and it made a net profit that year of EUR 315 million. The bank’s main markets were in Iceland and Norway where it offered a range of financial services, including corporate banking, investment banking, capital markets, investment management and retail banking. Glitnir also had operations in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, UK, Luxembourg, US, Canada, China and Russia. It held a number of subsidiary companies, the most significant being: Glitnir AB (Sweden); Glitnir Bank Oyi (Finland); Glitnir Bank ASA (Norway); Glitnir Bank Luxembourg SA; and Gltinir Asset Management Luxembourg. The bank’s international expansion was based on two specialised industry sectors; seafood and sustainable energy (1). Shares in the bank were listed on the Icelandic OMX.

Background. In 1992, the Norwegian authorities introduced a scheme concerning special tax deductions for cooperatives. According to the scheme, cooperatives within the agricultural and fisheries sectors as well as consumer cooperatives were entitled to incor- porate tax deductions on the basis of allocations to equity capital. Other forms of cooperatives were not covered by the scheme. The deduction was limited to maximum 15 % of the annual net income, and taken solely from the part of the income deriving from trade with the members of the cooperative. A deduction corresponding to the maximum allowed would imply a reduc- tion from the normal corporate tax rate of 28 % to 23,8 % (5). According to the Proposal by the Norwegian Government of 29 September 2006 (6), the aim of the scheme was to grant a fiscal advantage to the cooperatives on the basis that the coope- ratives were considered to have a more difficult access to equity capital than other undertakings.
