Commission proposes new measures to improve
market access to port services
[ full text ]
The European
Commission has adopted on 13 October a new proposal for
a Directive on Market Access to Port Services, which aims at
boosting the competitiveness of EU ports and contributing to
reduce congestion and environmental pollution by promoting
inter alia maritime transport. This new EU legislative
introduces specific and clear rules on access to the provision
of port services market, which is almost the only transport
sector not to have a Community legal framework, as well as to
create a level playing field in the competition between ports.
