10. 多式联运协会会议认为，公约草案似乎并没有提供超过现有制度的任何优势。以单一而透明的公约管辖所有国际货物运输合同，无论是港到港还是门到门的运输，或许是可取的，但将一种单式运输制度扩大范围以管辖其他运输方式，在多式运输协会会议看来，似乎不是一种恰当的解决办法。在公约草案的一百条中，仅有三条与多式运输有关。4多式运输协会会议认为，有必要严肃地考虑公约草案可能对多式联运产生的影响。总之，多式联运协会会议认为，公约草案极为冗长复杂，我们认为这不利于实现国际统一性。
10. It is the view of the IMMTA Conference that the Draft Convention does not seem to provide any advantage over the existing system. While it may be desirable to have a single and transparent convention to govern all contracts for international transport of goods, whether port-to-port or door-to-door, the extension of one unimodal regime to govern other transport modes does not seem to the participants at the IMMTA Conference to be an appropriate solution. Out of one hundred articles of the Draft Convention, only three relate to multimodal transport.4 The IMMTA Conference believes that there is a need to give serious consideration to the possible implications of the Draft Convention on multimodal transport. Overall, it is the view of the IMMTA Conference the Draft Convention is extremely lengthy and complex, which we believe is not conducive to achieving international uniformity.
