The Application of EC Competition Law in the Maritime Transport Sector - Dissertation in partial completion of the LL.M. International Maritime Law, IMO International Maritime Law Institute

This book explores the possible changes in the way that liner shipping takes place, in consequence of the removal of the EU Block Exemption Regulation on Liner Conferences. It is expected that some changes would have to be made, in particular concerning collusive practices that might no longer be exempted, and would therefore fall under the EU competition law rules as found in the Treaty. Since it is an International Maritime Law book, it also focuses on the interaction of EU Law principles with international maritime law and current maritime trading practices, and why non EU shipping companies may need to take note of any such new development in the EU if they trade in any way which affects the EU market, or trade on EU routes. The book tries to look ahead in this regard, since such a move is in line with the EU's practice of increasing the application of competition law to different markets across Europe.
