Andrey Porfiriev and Elena Pristanskova of EPAM attended the parliamentary hearings on Legislative Protection of Seas from Oil Contamination at the State Duma.
The rising risks of oil spills and environmental and economic damages caused by contamination of marine environment have become a major concern and created a need for new laws and regulations to provide an efficient legal mechanism in order to protect the sea from oil contamination, as well as a need to set up recovery funds, public liability insurance and tighter requirements to the design of oil tankers and other vessels.
EPAM take an active part in this law-making process. Andrey Porfiriev, a senior lawyer at EPAM, joined by Elena Pristanskova, spoke at the parliamentary hearings on the concept of the law regarding protection of marine environment from oil contamination.
