The European association of the harbour and marine pilots has expressed satisfaction for the agreement reached last week from the representatives of the legislative institutions of the European Union on the new regulations for the supply of harbour services and the transparency financial institution of the ports EU ( on 29 June 2016). According to the European Maritime Pilots' Association (EMPA), the agreement represents "the conclusion very balanced and coherent of this wide legislative process. We consider - it has explained the association - than the new regulations will become an important legal picture for the ulterior sustainable increase and the development of the important European fields of the ports and the shipping".
For the EMPA, draft of "an important and clear sign that it is given by the European Parliament in its 8 plenary deliberation of March of this year ( of 8 March 2016, ndr), that is that the marine pilotage, because of its obligations of public service, would not have to be subject to access principles at the market. The outcome of the trilogo - it has evidenced the association - respects this important sign, that very it is illustrated by the following motivation: "the pilotage supplies an essential and only service for the field of the marine transports that, if opened to the competition, would endanger the protection and marine safety, the protection of the atmosphere and the efficiency of the ports".
The EMPA has concluded specifying to agree totally "with the common rules of the regulations on the harbour services relatively to the formation, the transparency financial institution and the rights for the use of the services and harbour infrastructures".
