EC Adopts White Paper on liner shipping services

Maritime Activity Reports, Inc.

October 14, 2004

Such repeal, if approved by the European Parliament, would end the ability of liner conferences operating through European ports to agree on common or uniform freight rates as part of the provision of regular scheduled maritime transport services.
