FLAGS OF CONVENIENCE REGULATION WITHIN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND ITS FUTURE ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE

  • Ronald Becerra Rodríguez Universidad Libre de Colombia. Internacional London MetropolitanUniversity (Reino Unido)

Resumen

Este artículo comprende un estudio relevante de la jurisprudencia y legislación sobre Banderas de Conveniencia dentro de la Unión Europea y su marco jurídico internacional. Por esta razón, se ha estudiado la jurisprudencia de la Corte Europea de Justicia, así como el papel desempeñado por los reguladores de la industria naviera que buscan evitar infracciones por parte de los buques con banderas de conveniencia. De igual forma, se describen las posibles medidas que serán tomadas por los Estados Europeos que conllevan a la permanencia de estos registros marítimos en vez de su desaparición a pesar de todas las controversias que los rodean, teniendo en cuenta la influencia de la globalización en la regulación del comercio internacional. Esta investigación utilizó los métodos deductivo, analítico y no experimental con la finalidad de obtener los resultados
