On 27-29
September, for a one-off launch conference and the first of ICC headquarters’
series of practical masterclasses on the Incoterms® 2010 rules, members of the Incoterms®
Drafting Group will give a detailed public
presentation of the new rules and demonstrate through case-studies the major
changes and processes that users will need to know in their everyday practice.
The revision, the first in a decade, reflects the
profound changes that have taken place in global trade since 2000. These
include the increased importance of cargo security, the resulting new
obligations on traders, developments in container transport, and the 2004
revision of the United States’ Uniform Commercial Code, which resulted in a
deletion of the former US shipment and delivery terms.
The launch conference and masterclasses will address
these and other changes, and will offer drafting tips, real life examples of
the rules in action, and feedback from the key experts involved in elaborating
the rules.
“These
launch events are a unique opportunity for
trade professionals to learn the fundamentals of the new Incoterms® 2010 rules
from the drafters themselves,” said Emily
O’Connor, ICC Senior Policy Manager and Secretariat
for the Drafting Group. “There
is no organization better placed than ICC – the organization that created and
maintains the Incoterms rules – to help traders learn how to apply the rules correctly
to their global or domestic sales
transactions.”
The launch conference and masterclasses should be of
particular interest to contract/execution managers involved in the
export/import of goods, trade finance officers, in-house freight and carriage
operatives, in-house insurance specialists, commercial
lawyers, and anyone interested in learning about the changes to the Incoterms®
rules.
In addition to the two Co-Chairs of the Incoterms
Drafting Group – Charles Debattista, Professor of Commercial Law at the University of
Southampton, United Kingdom and Christoph Martin Radtke, Partner, Lamy &
Associés, France – other presenters will include David Lowe, Partner, Wragge & Co.,
United Kingdom; Lauri Railas, Attorney-at-Law, Krogerus Attorneys, Finland;
Miroslav Šubert, Secretary, ICC Czech Republic;
and Professor Jan Ramberg LL.D, Author of the ICC Guide to the Incoterms® 2010 rules.
