Canada makes the following declarations based on Article 234 of the 1982 United Nations

law to adopt and enforce special non-discrimination laws and regulations for the prevention,
reduction and control of marine pollution from vessels in ice-covered waters where
particularly severe climatic conditions and the presence of ice covering such waters
for most of the year create obstructions or exceptional hazards to navigation, and
pollution of the marine environment could cause major harm to or irreversible disturbance
of the ecological balance.
(b) Consequently, Canada considers that its accession to the Protocol of 1978, as
amended, relating to the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution
from Ships, 1973 (MARPOL 73/78) is without prejudice to such Canadian laws and regulations
as are now or may in the future be established in respect of arctic waters within

Bezwaar Italië, 30-01-1984
... The Italian Government objects to the reservation on the part of France as specified
in document PMP/Circ. 15 of the 13th August, 1982.
Said reservation is contrary to the spirit and the letter of rule 10, Annex I, of
the above mentioned Convention in relation to paragraph 2 as well as paragraph 7 which
makes the construction of collecting devices in the categories of ports specified
in the document compulsory. Moreover the French reservation sets up a facultative
trend where binding provisions exist, as per Annex I of the MARPOL Convention 1973/78,
and would appear to be incompatible with the Italian legislation on the subject which
lays down very restrictive principles.
