Ballot of Commission IMCO of the European Parliament on the proposal of directive on the award of concession contracts
the adopted text excludes the marine ports and the internal ports from the within of application of the provision
January 24, 2013
Today the Commission for the Home market and the protection of consumers (IMCO) of the European Parliament has adopted own relation on the directive proposal on the award of concession contracts, with a formulation that excludes the marine ports and the internal ports from the within of application of the directive. The European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO has announced) specifying that the text that has had the green light of the fixed Commission an important condition, and that is that the Harbour Authorities establish only the general conditions for I use it of the harbour areas, without to become addressees of works or services supplied from the terminaliste enterprises.
ESPO has evidenced that the formulation of the text adopted from the Parliamentary commission is analogous to the position of the European Council, that has reached a political agreement on the directive last month, with the fundamental difference that the Parliament has modified the term original of "acquisition" of works or services in "addressees" of works or services: "this - it has found the general secretary of ESPO, Patrick Verhoeven - could introduce a sure ambiguity. Sometimes - it has explained - it happens that, when a contract reaches its expiration, the Harbour Authority becomes addressee of works realized from a terminalista operator. Even if the Harbour Authority is not the intentional addressee, in fact she becomes owner of any work left from the terminalista. "Acquisition" - it has found - is a clearer indication in an intentional procedure".
