Class regulation rules could prompt a two-tier division

摘要

Implementing the European Union's Class Regulation could lead to a two-tier division among its recognised organisations (ROs), which include some non-IACS classification societies.rnThis emerged during discussions at the EMEC workshop (see p22), and appeared to surprise some delegates. "I don't know how you could do it," commented Karel Van Campenhout to Fairplay. He is chairman of the mutual recognition advisory board of the EU's ROs and a senior vice-president in ABS' Europe Division, and said that the intention had always been to develop a system that included all ROs.
