Introduction. Small and scattered damage is a form of large-scale damage in which the individual damage is so minor that a cost-benefit analysis shows that it is not worth redressing this damage individually, but where the cumulative collective damage nonetheless represents a considerable interest. In practice, aggrieved parties generally do not (or barely) seek redress for small and scattered damage and this can lead to a wrongful advantage for the party causing the damage. The current debate at a Dutch and European level on the possibilities for redressing large-scale damage collectively also touches upon the possibilities to act against small and scattered damage. This has given the Ministry of Economic Affairs cause to commission a study into the following questions:
Introduction. This agreement constitutes an accord between the Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management (hereafter ‘the Minister’) and The Ocean Cleanup, comprising Stichting The Ocean Cleanup and The Ocean Cleanup Projects B.V. (hereinafter together ‘The Ocean Cleanup’). The objective of The Ocean Cleanup is to use technology that it has developed itself, consisting of multiple floating systems, to significantly clean up the plastic currently floating in the upper surface layer of the oceans. The Ocean Cleanup plans to eventually deploy such systems in the five subtropical circulating ocean currents or ‘gyres’, since plastic tends to gather in those areas due to the influence of wind and water currents. The system that The Ocean Cleanup has developed to capture plastic is unique. The Netherlands, where The Ocean Cleanup has its statutory seat, currently has no applicable regulatory or other made-to-measure legal framework applicable to such a system. However, the objectives pursued by The Ocean Cleanup are such that the Minister wishes to facilitate and support the activities in question as much as possible. Since it is desirable for The Ocean Cleanup and the Minister to conclude a number of arrangements regarding matters such as the safety of shipping, the marine environment, and other uses of the high seas, this agreement was drawn up, by analogy to the options presented under article 238 et seq. of the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS)7 on marine scientific research. This agreement provides for the possibility of accession to it by third parties if the third party is (i) the owner of a system developed by The Ocean Cleanup, (ii) affiliated to The Ocean Cleanup, and (iii) a legal entity under Dutch law (article 6.8 of this agreement). For each such accession, an accession agreement will be appended as an annex to this agreement and published in the Government Gazette (Staatscourant).
Introduction. A meta-analysis of published data has shown that the feeding of spray-dried porcine plasma (SDPP) improves average daily gain (ADG) and average daily feed intake (ADFI) in weanling piglets (Van Dijk et al. 2001). In two experiments, less diarrhoea was found in piglets fed SDPP during the first two weeks after weaning (Gatnau 1990, Van der Peet-Xxxxxxxxx and Binnendijk 1995). However, most of the experiments used in the meta-analysis were conducted under Northern American conditions, which could interfere with extrapolation to the situation in Northern Europe. European weanling diets differ from those used in the US in that the main starch source is wheat, barley or tapioca instead of corn; soybean meal is included in smaller quantities; their composition is based on the amount of apparent ileal digestible, first limiting essential amino acid instead of total amino acids and that they contain less antibiotics and zinc oxide. Moreover, the weaning age of piglets in Europe is generally higher than that in the US and there might be differences in hygiene status. The effect of SDPP on ADG and ADFI depends on various factors such as weaning age, background composition of the weanling diet and hygiene status (Xxx Xxxx et al. 2001). Thus, the quantitative effect of SDPP may differ between management and feeding conditions. Milk proteins are generally considered to have beneficial effects on piglets’ performance (Xxxxxx et al. 1995). It could thus be suggested that in the presence of whey protein no further influence of SDPP would be seen. The use of SDPP in diets for weanling piglets is limited by its high price in comparison with other protein sources. Dietary SDPP has clear effects at low inclusion percentages (Xxx Xxxx et al. 2001) and thus only 3% was added to the experimental diets used in the present experiments. Blood leukocyte counts and globulin analyses can give an indication of the health status of pigs (Xxxxx and XxXxxxxxx 1977, Xxxxxx et al. 1991). Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of SDPP. The objectives were to determine whether SDPP has positive effects on post-weaning piglet performance and health status under typical Northern European conditions and to study the effect of dietary SDPP in the presence or absence of a high level of dietary whey protein. Hundred sixty weanling piglets (F2 cross-bred: GY x [Finnish X Dutch Landrace]) from the closed herd of the research station ‘Laverdonk’ (Veghel, The Netherlands) were used. The ...
Introduction. This Agreement amends and updates the Agreement concluded between the State of the Netherlands (represented by the Minister for Infrastructure and Water Management, hereinafter referred to as the Minister) and The Ocean Cleanup, consisting of Stichting The Ocean Cleanup and The Ocean Cleanup Projects B.V. (hereinafter referred to as The Ocean Cleanup) on 8 June 2018. The Agreement has a term of five years, after which it has been extended by operation of law for two years. In February 2023, the Ministry and The Ocean Cleanup evaluated the Agreement. It is apparent from this evalua- tion that both parties are satisfied with the Agreement, but that it requires amendment in several places in order to reflect the current situation.
