International action and disaster responsibility
Deasy asked whether the IMCO conference would determine responsibility or whether that would be left to an international court; the Minister declined to discuss litigation and expected recommendations to be addressed internationally.
I would like the Minister to tell us what findings he hopes will emanate from the IMCO Conference in December? Will such a conference apportion the responsibility for the disaster or will it be left to an international court?
Comment on this
The second part of the question deals with litigation and I understand that matter is being discussed in various other places at this time and I would not like to comment on it. As far as the European meeting is concerned all matters concerning the recommendations that will be put before us will be discussed at that time and I am satisfied that the recommendations will be implemented.
