It is the fruit

5、of more than three years of work by the International Chamber of Commerces (ICC)Commission on Banking Technique and Practice.ICC, which was established in 1919, had as its primary objective facilitating the flow ofinternational trade at a time when nationalism and protectionism posed serious threats

6、 to theworld trading system. It was in that spirit that the UCP were first introduced - to alleviate theconfusion caused by individual countries promoting their own national rules on letter of creditpractice. The objective, since attained, was to create a set of contractual rules that wouldestablish

7、 uniformity in that practice, so that practitioners would not have to cope with a plethoraof often conflicting national regulations. The universal acceptance of the UCP by practitioners incountries with widely divergent economic and judicial systems is a testament to the rulessuccess.It is important

8、 to recall that the UCP represent the work of a private international organization,not a governmental body. Since its inception, ICC has insisted on the central role of self-regulation in business practice. These rules, formulated entirely by experts in the private sector,have validated that approac

9、h. The UCP remain the most successful set of private rules for tradeever developed.A range of individuals and groups contributed to the current revision, which is entitled UCP 600.These include the UCP Drafting Group, which sifted through more than 5000 individualcomments before arriving at this con

10、sensus text; the UCP Consulting Group, consisting ofmembers from more than 25 countries, which served as the advisory body reacting to andproposing changes to the various drafts; the more than 400 members of the ICC Commission onBanking Technique and Practice who made pertinent suggestions for chang

11、es in the text; andICC national committees worldwide which took an active role in consolidating comments fromtheir members. ICC also expresses its gratitude to practitioners in the transport and insuranceindustries, whose perceptive suggestions honed the final draft.Guy SebbanSecretary GeneralIntern

12、ational Chamber of CommerceINTRODUCTIONIn May 2003, the International Chamber of Commerce authorized the ICC Commission onBanking Technique and Practice (Banking Commission) to begin a revision of the UniformCustoms and Practice for Documentary Credits, ICC Publication 500.As with other revisions, t

13、he general objective was to address developments in the banking,transport and insurance industries. Additionally, there was a need to look at the language andstyle used in the UCP to remove wording that could lead to inconsistent application andinterpretation.When work on the revision started, a num

14、ber of global surveys indicated that, because ofdiscrepancies, approximately 70% of documents presented under letters of credit were beingrejected on first presentation. This obviously had, and continues to have, a negative effect on theletter of credit being seen as a means of payment and, if unche

15、cked, could have seriousimplications for maintaining or increasing its market share as a recognized means of settlementin international trade. The introduction by banks of a discrepancy fee has highlighted theimportance of this issue, especially when the underlying discrepancies have been found to b

16、edubious or unsound. Whilst the number of cases involving litigation has not grown during thelifetime of UCP 500, the introduction of the ICCs Documentary Credit Dispute ResolutionExpertise Rules (DOCDEX) in October 1997 (subsequently revised in March 2002) has resultedin more than 60 cases being de

17、cided.To address these and other concerns, the Banking Commission established a Drafting Group torevise UCP 500. It was also decided to create a second group, known as the Consulting Group, toreview and advise on early drafts submitted by the Drafting Group. The Consulting Group, madeup of over 40 i

18、ndividuals from 26 countries, consisted of banking and transport industry experts.Ably co-chaired by John Turnbull, Deputy General Manager, Sumitomo Mitsui BankingCorporation Europe Ltd, London and Carlo Di Ninni, Adviser, Italian Bankers Association,Rome, the Consulting Group provided valuable inpu

19、t to the Drafting Group prior to release ofdraft texts to ICC national committees.The Drafting Group began the review process by analyzing the content of the official Opinionsissued by the Banking Commission under UCP 500. Some 500 Opinions were reviewed to assesswhether the issues involved warrante

20、d a change in, an addition to or a deletion of any UCParticle. In addition, consideration was given to the content of the four Position Papers issued bythe Commission in September 1994, the two Decisions issued by the Commission (concerningthe introduction of the euro and the determination of what c

21、onstituted an original documentunder UCP 500 sub-article 20(b) and the decisions issued in DOCDEX cases.During the revision process, notice was taken of the considerable work that had been completedin creating the International Standard Banking Practice for the Examination of Documents underDocument

22、ary Credits (ISBP), ICC Publication 645. This publication has evolved into anecessary companion to the UCP for determining compliance of documents with the terms ofletters of credit. It is the expectation of the Drafting Group and the Banking Commission that theapplication of the principles containe

23、d in the ISBP, including subsequent revisions thereof, willcontinue during the time UCP 600 is in force. At the time UCP 600 is implemented, there will bean updated version of the ISBP to bring its contents in line with the substance and style of thenew rules.The four Position Papers issued in Septe

24、mber 1994 were issued subject to their application underUCP 500; therefore, they will not be applicable under UCP 600. The essence of the Decisioncovering the determination of an original document has been incorporated into the text of UCP600. The outcome of the DOCDEX cases were invariably based on

25、 existing ICC BankingCommission Opinions and therefore contained no specific issues that required addressing inthese rules.One of the structural changes to the UCP is the introduction of articles covering definitions(article 2) and interpretations (article 3). In providing definitions of roles playe

26、d by banks and themeaning of specific terms and events, UCP 600 avoids the necessity of repetitive text to explaintheir interpretation and application. Similarly, the article covering interpretations aims to take theambiguity out of vague or unclear language that appears in letters of credit and to

27、provide adefinitive elucidation of other characteristics of the UCP or the credit.During the course of the last three years, ICC national committees were canvassed on a range ofissues to determine their preferences on alternative texts submitted by the Drafting Group. Theresults of this exercise and

28、 the considerable input from national committees on individual itemsin the text is reflected in the content of UCP 600. The Drafting Group considered, not only thecurrent practice relative to the documentary credit, but also tried to envisage the future evolutionof that practice.This revision of the

29、 UCP represents the culmination of over three years of extensive analysis,review, debate and compromise amongst the various members of the Drafting Group, themembers of the Banking Commission and the respective ICC national committees. Valuablecomment has also been received from the ICC Commission o

30、n Transport and Logistics, theCommission on Commercial Law and Practice and the Committee on Insurance.It is not appropriate for this publication to provide an explanation as to why an article has beenworded in such a way or what is intended by its incorporation into the rules. For those interestedi

31、n understanding the rationale and interpretation of the articles of UCP 600, this information willbe found in the Commentary to the rules, ICC Publication 601, which represents the DraftingGroups views.On behalf of the Drafting Group I would like to extend our deep appreciation to the members ofthe
