4. Difficulties, concerns and obstacles to ratification
• There are no legal difficulties.• Practical concerns:
Financial limits (amounts) for the liability defined in the Annex B to the Protocol might too high, it might result in unacceptable financial burden for our undertakings. We are waiting for the EU recommendation.
