International multimodal transport continues to grow exponentially, while the relevant international legal framework becomes increasingly fragmented and complex (see UNCTAD/SDTE/TLB/2 and UNCTAD/SDTE/TLB/2/Add.1). In an effort to establish the feasibility of an international legal instrument to govern multimodal transport, the UNCTAD secretariat sought the views of interested parties, both public and private, via a widely circulated questionnaire. 109 responses, reflecting the views of virtually all interested parties, were received. This report presents the views and opinions expressed by respondents to the questionnaire, and raises issues for further consideration. |
