English to Czech Bus/Financial Transport / Transportation / Shipping European Union

Shippers do not consider liability to be a major problem, in particular, when they use outsourced logistics providers that manage liability. Insurance coverage can normally be obtained to cover a transport operation using more than one mode.
Currently work is going on in UNCITRAL on preparing a legal instrument for multimodal liability which is broadly based on the existing regimes in shipping. The EU must have a significant role in this work that should create a multimodal regulatory structure at international level. Nevertheless, parallel to this work, the added value of an EU-wide liability solution that would best suit European needs should be studied.
