The need: fair competition in port and maritime
transport services – Fair inter-port competition → State aid + non-EU ports – Fair intra-port competition → no one-size-fits-all solution! – A liberalised market for maritime transport services
The policy responses: – Guidelines on State aid to ports + neighbouring policy – Guidelines on the application of competition law to port
services: a missed opportunity?? – Repeal of Regulation 4056/86 & upcoming guidelines on
competition in maritime transport: a new era??
