Court of Justice 27 March 2014, C-207/13 (Wagenborg Passagiersdiensten and Others)

Opinion of the Advocate-General Opinion of the Advocate-General 1. For reasons unknown, the terminology applicable to bodies of water is confusingly diversified. A rule of thumb would be that a ‘sea’ is larger than a lake; that it is connected to, or forms part of, a larger ocean; and that it contains salt water rather than fresh water. Yet that is not always so. (2) 2.
