 | | With a view to resolving the dispute, the conciliation procedure laid down in Article 376 of the Treaty of Versailles was put into operation, by which the opinion of the Advisory and Technical Committee for Communications and Transit of the League of Nations could be requested. | | | The Court points out for its part that the Special Agreement under which the case has been brought before it expressly mentions the Warthe and the Netze in asking the Court over which sections of these rivers the jurisdiction of the Commission extends. | | | The Court finds these factors in Article 331 of the Treaty of Versailles which determines the limits of the international régime. |

| | The river at present begins to be navigable for barges at Ratibor, where it is about 100 ft. wide, and for larger vessels at Breslau, and great exertions are made by the government to deepen and keep open the channel, which still shows a strong tendency to choke itself with sand in certain places. | | | Of these the only one of importance for navigation is the Warthe, which through the Netze is brought into communication with the Vistula. | | | The chief tributaries of the Oder on the left bank are the Oppa, Glatzer Neisse, Katzbach, Bober and Lausitzer Neisse; on the right bank the Malapane, Bartsch and Warthe. |

| | As our experiences from previous years have demonstrated, raising embankments and constructing large retention basins are not efficient as means of protection against catastrophic water rises. | | | Despite its regulation and the fact that its run has been shortened by more than 180 km, water drops have been constructed and banks have been strenghtened, the Oder valley has retained suprisingly much of its natural value, which makes it unique at the European scale. | | | We are also trying to build up approval for nature protection amongst river bank inhabitants through establishing bonds between the local economy and preservation of the region's natural values. |

| | We are also carrying out a model project in the central Oder valley, which proposes to move embankments away at a 7.5 km long section and return 670 ha of space to the river. | | | The more managed is the river valley and the more people live in flooding areas, the higher are the losses due to flooding. | | | One of the main problems of efficient flood protection in Poland is the reluctance to implement environmental methods of preventing catastrophic floods, while, as it is demonstrated by our past years' experiences, construction of embankments and retention reservoirs does not provide efficient protection against very high water stages. |
