Ms Janssens believes the European Commission has \u201clost direction\u201d on ship recycling after a hiatus following China\u2019s decision to ban the import of waste. She adds that vague recommendations of the standards yards need to comply with have further muddied the waters for yards wishing to apply for EU approval.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Janssen says that shipowners and ship recycling facilities need \u201clegal certainty\u201d but that the current situation, far from delivering certainty is having the opposite effect. \u201cWith the current proposal, the Commission trying to bring the Basel Ban into European legislation; we went one step forward but we\u2019re going two steps back and it\u2019s creating huge legal uncertainty.\u201d She adds it is hard to imagine anyone supporting the changes to the EU WSR currently because they do not represent a \u201clong term sustainable solution.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ms Logghe said the main concern for Euronav is the situation with their 200 Russian and Ukrainian crew on board adding that current events are being watched extremely closely. Echoing the sentiments, Ms Janssens added that the Belgian Shipowners\u2019 Association is looking out for its members with interests or sailing in the areas and is in touch \u201cday and night\u201d with the competent authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hellenicshippingnews.com\/eu-ship-recycling-rules-need-major-surgery-not-a-band-aid\/\">Hellenic Shipping News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The EU Ship Recycling Regulation needs \u201cmajor surgery\u201d, but the current proposals offer little more than a sticking plaster, says Gudrun Janssens Head&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":47110,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31,11659],"tags":[75,17403,7159],"class_list":["post-72925","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmental-news-en","category-science-news","tag-eu","tag-ship-recycling","tag-waste-import","wpcat-31-id","wpcat-11659-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/cargo_pixabay.jpg?fit=100%2C100&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=72925"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73085,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/72925\/revisions\/73085"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47110"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=72925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=72925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=72925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
