Document 470/TA.567

24 March 2004

Dear Mr. Poensgen,

Thank you for your query regarding UCP 500. Please find below the opinion of the officers of the Banking Commission.

QUOTE

We have been confronted with the following problem in respect of which we would highly appreciate a Banking Commission opinion.

Bank D in Singapore (the ”Confirming Bank”) confirmed 5 documentary credits issued by Bank W in Seoul (”Issuing Bank”), all of which were issued on behalf of the same applicant in favour of the same beneficiary, for the same goods, i.e. petroleum products and contained similar terms and conditions including the following:

• Full set of 3/3 original bill of lading made out or endorsed to the order of the Issuing Bank marked freight payable as per charter party; • Charter party bill of lading and undated Charter party Contract thereon is acceptable; • Field 44B indicated ”Any port(s) in South Korea” as the port of discharge; • The credits do not require the credit number to be indicated on the bill of lading.

The B/Ls presented, in each case, were a full set of original ”Tanker Bill of Lading” containing the clause ”PURSUANT AND SUBJECT TO ALL TERMS AND CONDITIONS, LIBERTIES AND EXCEPTIONS AS PER VOYAGE CHARTER PARTY INDICATED HEREUNDER” and being marked ”FREIGHT PAYABLE AS PER CHARTER PARTY”. Each B/L indicated ”ANY PORT(S) IN SOUTH KOREA” as the discharging port. All B/Ls were endorsed to the order of the Issuing Bank.

…/… The Confirming Bank negotiated the documents under each of the credits after finding them to be in compliance with the terms and conditions of the credits. All the documents were remitted to the Issuing Bank as per instructions in the credits.

The Issuing Bank refused the documents presented under each of the credits citing the following discrepancies with respect to all credits

• L/C number is not indicated on BL; • Different consignee; • Date and place of charter party, charterer and carrier are not indicated on BL; • Tanker B/L is presented; and in addition thereto the following discrepancies in individual L/Cs:

L/C 1:
Actual discharging port is not indicated on B/L;
B/L does not contain the indication that it is subject to a charter party.
L/C 2 – L/C 5:
Documents are inconsistent with each other.

Despite arguments from the Confirming Bank that none of the purported discrepancies are valid, within the context of UCP 500 and ISBP, the Issuing Bank has continued to refuse to take up the documents and to effect payment under their credits.

Our arguments may be summarised as follows:

Ad a):
In the absence of any express credit condition requiring that any B/L indicates the credit number, neither the UCP 500 nor banking practice requires any indication to such effect.

Ad b):
Each B/L showed the aforementioned indications that they are subject to a charter party and all credits allowed for charter party B/Ls, so that pursuant to number 1 supra any B/L was required to be issued to the order of the Issuing Bank or to the order of another consignee who then had to endorse the respective B/L to the Issuing Bank: In fact all B/Ls had been endorsed in favour of the Issuing Bank. This is compliant with the LC terms, paragraph 107 ISBP refers.

…/…
Ad c):
Each of the B/Ls showed the aforementioned indications that they are subject to a charter party and each of the credits allowed for charter party bills of lading, but did not contain any requirement for the date and place of the charter party, the charterer and the carrier to be indicated on the B/L, so that the B/Ls were compliant, since Article 25 UCP 500 and banking practice does not require such additional indications.

Ad d):
Each of the B/Ls was headed ”Tanker Bill of Lading” which was not forbidden by the terms and conditions of each of the credits and was fully in line with the goods concerned. Article 25 UCP 500 allows for any document ”however named” which complies with the terms and conditions thereof, so that this heading is not inconsistent with a charter party B/L nor with a marine B/L.

Ad L/C 1, e):
Each of the credits required shipment to ”any port(s) in South Korea” and each of the B/Ls indicated as port of discharge ”any port(s) in South Korea”. Thus these B/Ls were in full compliance with the terms and conditions of the credits, since B/Ls may show the geographical area of ports stipulated in the credits as the ”port of discharge” (see paragraph 106 ISBP).

Ad L/C 1, f):
The aforementioned clauses on each of the B/Ls ”pursuant and subject to all terms and conditions, liberties and exceptions, as per voyage charter party indicated hereunder” as well as ”freight payable as per charter party” are clear and unambiguous indications that the B/Ls are subject to a charter party; paragraphs 100 and 101 ISBP refers.

Ad L/C 2, e) – L/C 5, e):
Any refusal under any credits reasoning that ”documents are inconsistent with each other”, is not stating any discrepancy in accordance with sub-Article 14(d)(ii) UCP 500 unless further details are given like e.g. the relevant documents and the purported variations, discrepancy or even contradiction observed therein. Therefore any refusal based on ”inconsistency” precludes the Issuing Bank from claiming that the documents are not in compliance with the terms and conditions of the credits (sub-Article 14(e) UCP500).

…/…
This leads us to the question:

Is the Issuing Bank, on the basis of the terms and conditions of the LC as stated above and the UCP 500, justified in insisting in the aforementioned purported discrepancies?

ANALYSIS & CONCLUSION

In responding to this query, it is best to address each of the discrepancies observed by the issuing bank and provide comment.

1. L/C Number is not indicated on BL

Unless the credit specifically requires the insertion of a LC number on any document, including a bill of lading, the absence of such LC number is not grounds for refusal.

*It should be pointed out that the request for insertion of LC numbers is usually at the instigation of the issuing bank to facilitate the collation of documents when one or more go astray. The ICC has commented in the past that a refusal based on the absence of a LC number on a document, where requested in the LC, is not grounds for refusal.

2. Different Consignee

The credit requested that bills of lading be issued to the order of the issuing bank or endorsed to their order. The fact that the bill of lading may show, on its face, a different order party is not considered a different consignee if the bill of lading is duly endorsed by that party to the issuing bank. On this basis, there is no discrepancy.

3. Date and Place of Charter Party, Charterer and Carrier are not indicated on BL

The credit stated that undated Charter Party Contract thereon is acceptable, therefore the discrepancy relating to date of the Charter Party is not valid. The fact that the Charter Party bill of lading may have specific field(s) for the insertion of place of Charter Party and Charterer and these are not completed, are not grounds for refusal.

…/… Sub-Article 25 (a) (iii) states “does or does not indicate the name of the carrier”. Therefore, unless the credit specifically requested this information which it seems it did not, there is no discrepancy.

4. Tanker B/L is presented

The credit allowed for presentation of a Charter Party bill of lading. A Tanker bill of lading is a form of Charter Party bill of lading and from the content of the enquiry contained various references, on its face, to a Charter Party. Sub-Article 25(a)(i) refers to the acceptability of a document “however named” that otherwise complies with the content of Article 25. The document meets the requirement of Article 25 and is not discrepant.

5. Actual discharging port is not indicated on B/L

ICC Opinion R. 281 has previously addressed this issue. Where a Charter Party bill of lading is presented, it is acceptable that the port of discharge field state either an actual port (which is within the range or geographic region that is stated in the credit) or the same data that appears in the credit, i.e. in this case “Any Port(s) in South Korea”. There is no discrepancy.

6. B/L does not contain the indication that it is subject to a Charter Party

As mentioned in point 4. above, the bill of lading that has been presented makes various references to Charter Party. Sub-Article 25(a)(i) states “contains any indication that it is subject to a charter party”. The statements that appear on the face of the bill of lading are sufficient to indicate that the bill of lading is subject to a charter party. There is no discrepancy.

7. Documents are inconsistent with each other.

This is not a correct or acceptable statement of a discrepancy. To say that “documents are inconsistent with each other” gives no clue as to the identity of the inconsistency. Sub-Article 14(d)(ii) states that the notice of refusal must state all discrepancies in respect of which the bank refuses documents. The refusal from the bank, in respect of this point, is not in line with the requirements of UCP and, in particular, Article 14 and therefore is not valid.

Based upon the review of the discrepancies observed and the text of the enquiry, we can find no basis for the bank to refuse documents for any of the reasons stated in their refusal notices.

…/… The opinion(s) rendered on this query reflect the opinion of the ICC Banking Commission’s officers. They do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the ICC Banking Commission until the Banking Commission renders its approval or disapproval of these opinion(s) at the next scheduled meeting.

The reply given is not to be construed as being other than solely for the benefit of guidance and there should be no legal imputation associated with the reply offered.

If this query relates to a matter currently under consideration by the courts, the ICC Banking Commission will refrain from considering it for adoption as an opinion.

Neither the ICC nor any of its employees, nor any member of the Banking Commission, including the Chairman, Vice-Chairmen or Technical Adviser shall be liable to any person for any loss or damage arising out of any act or omission in connection with the rendered opinion(s).

Yours sincerely,

Ron Katz Policy Manager Banking Commission

It forces parents to take a deeper look at the truths of this disorder. It shows the many different signs and symptoms that can better help to diagnose the disorder. It speaks to parents, guardians, and care givers on ways to treat and handle children with ADHD. The article shows how getting proper diagnosing is very important in helping children begin to overcome ADHD. The CDC article is informative on the best treatments and symptoms of ADHD. CDC (also known as the centers for disease control and prevention) saving lives protecting people is their motto. “They conduct critical science and protect people from health threats. They do studies not only in the US but abroad as well”. (CDC home page mission statement) There are many signs and symptoms we need to be aware of when dealing with ADHD. If a child day dreams a lot or has a bad memory, they could possibly have ADHD. Other signs to watch for are being squirmy, talking a lot and having trouble taking turns. Just because you see some of these signs, does not mean the child has ADHD. That is why having the child evaluated by a professional is so important. Children showing some of these signs will often have a tough time in school and at home. Staying focused is a difficult task for children with ADHD. They often have a tough time getting...

What Is the Cdc?

...Professor Yvette Huerta March 6, 2016 The Centers of Disease and Control (CDC) is one of the leading national public health institutes in the United States and is located in DeKalb County, Georgia. The CDC works to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and within the United States. The main goal of the CDC is to “protect the public health and safety through prevention control, prevention of disease, injury, and disability” (Wikipedia, 2016). History of CDC On July 1, 1946, the Communicable Diseases Center was founded, as the successor to the World War II Malaria Control in War Areas program of the Office of National Defense Malaria Control Activities. The Malaria Commission of the League of Nations and the Rockefeller Foundation were both global influences in malaria control. The Rockefeller Foundation sought to have the governments take over some of its efforts, and collaborated with the agency. The new branch agency was a branch of the U.S Public Health Service, with Atlanta being chosen as headquarters, because malaria was endemic in the Southern United States. Working on a budget, the objective of personnel was to control and eradicate malaria in the United States. Amongst the employees, the main jobs at the CDC were entomology and engineering. In CDC’s initial years, more than six and a half million homes were sprayed, mostly with DDT. Under Joseph Mountin, the CDC continued to advocate public health issues and also began to focus on many...

...The United States HIV prevention efforts are guided by a single strategy for combating the HIV epidemic: the National HIV/AIDS Strategy (NHAS). On July 13, 2010 the White House in coordination with the CDC released the nations first-ever comprehensive coordinated HIV/AIDS roadmap with measurable targets that need to be achieved by 2015. The vision for the NHAS is that “The United States will become a place where new HIV infections are rare and when they do occur, every person, regardless of age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or socio-economic circumstance, will have unfettered access to high quality, life-extending care, free from stigma and discrimination (White House)”. The National HIV/AIDS strategy was developed to address three main goals: “Reducing the number or people who become infected with HIV, increasing access to care and optimizing health outcomes for people living with HIV, and reducing HIV-related health disparities” (White House). In order to decrease the number of people who become infected with HIV it is important to know who currently has the virus, what risk factors increase a person’s likelihood of contracting the virus, and where the virus is most prevalent. This information is obtained by the CDC through surveillance. Surveillance is the “ongoing, systematic collection, analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of data regarding a health-related event.  HIV/AIDS surveillance observes records and disseminates reports about...

CDC divides vaccines for travel into three categories: routine, recommended, and required. While your doctor will tell you which ones you should have, it's best to be aware of them ahead of time. Before visiting Nigeria, you may need to get the following vaccinations and medications for vaccine-preventable diseases and other diseases you might be at risk for at your destination: (Note: Your doctor or health-care provider will determine what you will need, depending on factors such as your health and immunization history, areas of the country you will be visiting, and planned activities.) To have the most benefit, see a health-care provider at least 4–6 weeks before your trip to allow time for your vaccines to take effect and to start taking medicine to prevent malaria, if you need it. Even if you have less than 4 weeks before you leave, you should still see a health-care provider for needed vaccines, anti-malaria drugs and other medications and information about how to protect yourself from illness and injury while traveling.

The CDC is concerned about a prevalent disease which is common in children to adults called Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder which is also referred as ADHD. The CDC has created a webpage for ADHD to educate and inform parents, patients or potential patients, caregivers and teachers of the facts surrounding ADHD. The article itself, has different topics pertaining to ADHD, such as the signs and symptoms, the different types of ADHD, and some of the causes of ADHD just to name a few. The CDC website can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/facts.html and the layout is well structured, with all the quick links easily assessable.

Rhetorical Analysis of the Cdc Website

...rhetorical analysis of the CDC’s website on ADHD. The CDC is a government funded organization, but they do not share enough information with the public, so we can be proactive in dealing with, or minimizing the negative effects of ADHD. The CDC is not sharing information that would help the public to understand, to minimize the questions being asked, and to what depths or severity ADHD is, or could be. Some of the public may not fully understand the context of the issues pertaining to ADHD, what the CDC’s actual credibility is, and to whom they are trying to impart their knowledge. When a young child is sick, we take them to the doctor. What if we do not know they are sick, what then? That’s where the CDC gets involved with ADHD, but what do we really know about the disease, other than its generally found in children, and that it is an issue in their neurodevelopment. Children today are being diagnosed with ADHD. According to the CDC it is not ok, but the way to fix it seems to be, to medicate the child or teen, so the symptoms become less apparent. Does that really help? One of the issues with medicating could be, the child does not develop emotionally, and or socially, in an appropriate way. Is this safe for the kids, or is the CDC trying to keep ADHD under control, like they successfully have done with malaria, and leprosy (not actually creating a cure like with polio, or the possibility of a surgical fix).

Finally, in our reading it mentioned and emphasized on how important evaluation of health planning truly is. It gave an overview and analysis of evaluations and what makes them grow and change depending on what stage of the program you may be in. The CDC attempted to set a broader method pertaining to evaluation that may be administered to all their programs to help make the process more refined and simple to display the results. To keep the process effective and efficient, the CDC has a goal in which program managers must ensure they place emphasis on all factors to help this process.
