The European Commission has launched a public consultation on draft Guidelines on the application of EU competition rules to the maritime transport sector. The consultation is an interim step in the preparation of the Guidelines, due to be finalised in 2008. The draft Guidelines follow the repeal of the block exemption for liner shipping conferences and the extension of the scope of the competition implementing rules to cabotage and tramp shipping services (Regulation 1/2003) decided by the Competitiveness Council on 25 September 2006. The author of this article, who is the European Liner Affairs Association's Executive Director, examines the draft guidelines published by DG Competition of the European Commission for the shipping industry. He says that all is not as clear as it could be. |
