Le renforcement de la responsabilité pénale en matière de pollution maritime

After the wreck of Erika and the Prestige, repressive measures concerning the illicit discharges of hydrocarbons from ships were three times modified (laws of May 3rd, 2001, March 9th, 2004 and August 1st, 2008). The sources of this repressive device appearing henceforth to articles L.218-10 and fol...
