At the international level, legal barriers to the geological storage of CO in geological formations under the seabed have been removed through the adoption of related risk management frameworks under the 1996 London Protocol to the 1972 Convention on the Prevention of Marine Pollution by Dumping of Wastes and Other Matter (1996 London Protocol) and under the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic (OSPAR Convention).

(11) Regard should be had to the existing agreements on accidental pollution, such as the Agreement for cooperation in dealing with pollution of the North Sea by oil and other harmful substances, 1983 (Bonn Cooperation Agreement), which facilitate mutual assistance and cooperation between Member States in this field, as well as to the relevant international conventions and agreements for the protection of European maritime areas from pollution incidents, such as the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation, 1990 (OPRC Convention) developed under the auspices of the IMO, the Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic ...[+++] of 22 September 1992 (OSPAR Convention), the Barcelona Convention, the Helsinki Convention and the Lisbon Agreement.

warship means a ship belonging to the armed forces of a State bearing the external marks distinguishing such ships of its nationality, under the command of an officer duly commissioned by the government of the State and whose name appears in the appropriate service list or its equivalent, and manned by a crew which is under regular armed forces discipline;

In a subsequent Exchange of Letters on 30 June and 8 July 2004 respectively, the North Atlantic Council has agreed to make available DSACEUR as EU Operation Commander and has agreed that the EU Operation Headquarters should be located at SHAPE.

It also includes any storage reservoirs for the operating medium and the return lines, but not the vehicle's engine (except for the purposes of item 4.1.3) or its drive to the energy source; 1.3.4.1. Energy source means that part of the energy supply which provides the energy in the required form e.g. hydraulic pump, air compressor; 1.3.4.2. Energy reservoir means that part of the energy supply in which the energy provided by the energy source is stored; 1.3.4.3. Storage reservoir means that part of the energy supply in which the operating medium is stored at or near to the atmospheric pressure. 1.4. Steering parameters 1.4.1. Steering control effort means the force applied to the steering control in order to steer the vehicle; 1.4.2. S ...[+++]teering time means the period of time from the beginning of the movement of the steering control to the moment at which the steered wheels have reached a specific steering angle; 1.4.3. Steering angle means the angle between the projection of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and the line of intersection of the wheelplane (being the central plane of the tyre, normal to the spin axis of the wheel) and the road surface; 1.4.4. Steering forces mean all the forces operating in the steering transmission; 1.4.5 Mean steering ratio means the ratio of the angular displacement of the steering control to the mean of the swept steering angle of the steered wheels for a full lock-to-lock turn; 1.4.6. Turning circle means the circle within which are located the projections onto the ground plane of all the points of the vehicle, excluding the external mirrors and the front direction indicators, when the vehicle is driven in a circle; 1.4.7. Nominal radius of steering control means in the case of a steering wheel the shortest dimension from its centre of rotation to the outer edge of the rim. In the case of any other form of control, it means the distance between its centre of rotation and the point at which the steering effort is applied. ...
