Following the entry
into force of Regulation No. 479/92, which empowered the Commission to
grant block exemptions in respect of certain categories of agreements,
decisions and concerted practices between liner shipping companies, the
Commission adopted Regulation No. 870/95 to establish the conditions
under which such exemptions would be granted; that Regulation was later
replaced by Regulation No. 823/2000.
