C'est maintenant chose faite, depuis la fin de la semaine dernière. Quatorze des quinze membres dudit accord ont introduit un recours auprès de la Cour européenne de première instance de Luxembourg. La démarche a pour but d'obtenir l'annulation de ces amendes, voire leur réduction de manière substantielle. Un seul armement fait bande à part: Mærsk Sealand qui a décidé de payer les 836.000 Eur, soit 33,8 mio. de BEF.
