Kerala HC defers negotiation initiated by State with MSC on compensation for damage due to sinking of container ship
The Kerala High Court on Thursday deferred the negotiation process initiated by the State government with the Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC) on the compensation for the damage caused by the sinking of the firm's container ship MSC Elsa 3 off the Kerala coast on May 25. The interim order was passed on a public interest litigation (PIL) filed by T.N. Prathapan, former MP and the chairperson of Kerala Fishermen Coordination Committee, and others seeking a directive to the Union and State governments, among others, to release interim financial assistance to fishers and others affected by the ship's sinking and subsequent environmental concerns. High-level panel The other demands included constitution of a high-level expert committee to assess the damage caused to the marine environment and the coast, directive to the Indian Coast Guard, State government and the Kerala State Pollution Control Board to clear all waste, debris and chemicals from the ship and to clean up the marine environment. While taking note of the affidavit filed by the State government informing that a committee had been formed to determine the compensation for the damage caused by the sinking, restoration of the coastal and marine environment, removal of wreckage and the economic losses caused to the fishers, the court questioned whether the out-of-court negotiations, particularly when a legal course of action under the Admiralty Act is still open, would result in a binding agreement. It further questioned whether it could have transparency, the extent of the damage assessed, and also whether the court's jurisdiction would be affected. Once the State has proposed to move the court, it would be appropriate that the avenue of negotiation is deferred. On its part, the State government said the Special Secretary (Department of Environment) was appointed as the Principal Impact Assessment Officer and that it has been decided to take steps under the Environment Protection Act. Meeting convened In addition, the Minister for Fisheries convened a meeting with all stakeholders, and the Fisheries department has forwarded the loss assessment report to the Special Secretary. Moreover, the Director General of Shipping has directed the State to submit an interim claim. The State also said that it has decided to file an admiralty suit against the company, including the arrest of a sister vessel of MSC.

Why the French economy is stuck in stagnation
With consumer spending failing to rebound, savings rates remaining at record highs, investments struggling to recover and foreign trade slipping back into deficit, all the engines of the French economy have come to a halt. According to the new outlook from INSEE, France's national statistics agency, published on Wednesday, June 18, GDP growth in 2025 is not expected to exceed 0.6%. This is likely a disappointment for the government, which had revised its growth forecast down to 0.7% in April, a 0.2-point drop from the 0.9% it still hoped for in January. Despite fresh uncertainty triggered by the war between Israel and Iran, Amélie de Montchalin, the minister for public accounts, said on Tuesday: "Our growth forecast remains achievable." INSEE's outlook is more pessimistic than the government's. Growth was barely positive in the first quarter (0.1%) and was only expected to reach 0.2% in each of the next three quarters. The French economy has not benefited from the slight improvement in the eurozone business climate, partly linked to lower interest rates. "Fiscal consolidation is weighing on activity," stressed Dorian Roucher, head of the economic outlook department at INSEE. Government consumption, for instance, fell in the first quarter of 2025 compared to 2024 (0.2% instead of 0.4%). The government, which must bring the public deficit down to 5.4% of gross domestic product in 2025 after 5.8% in 2024, is seeking to cut public spending by €40 billion. 'Excess savings' phenomenon Another handicap: Unlike the United Kingdom, Germany or Italy, France has not benefited from the "commercial rush" – that is, companies' rush to build up inventories ahead of the tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump in early April. This phenomenon led to a 1.7% jump in global trade in the first quarter. French foreign trade, after two strong years, slipped back into deficit. Despite the high-profile delivery of the cruise ship World-America by Chantiers de l'Atlantique to Swiss company MSC in March, exports fell by 1.8% in the first three months of the year. For 2025 as a whole, foreign trade is expected to reduce French GDP growth by 0.7 percentage points.
