This document outlines the position of the International Group that the draft text of Appendix II to the report of the ninth session of the Working Group (see annex to document LEG 96/4/1) does not accurately reflect the principle that the financial security envisaged in the draft text is restricted to financial security for contractual compensation, that is compensation/payments due to a seafarer or his dependants following his death, personal injury or illness as provided for under his employment contract, collective bargaining agreement or other employment agreement.
