Draft - it has specified Peters - to settle if to the federal government or the Land it is allowed to invest in the highway net or that railway one, or in the ports, without to ask preventively the permission the EU commission. Ultimately - it has emphasized - a consequence of the current position of the EU commission is that to the Federation it can not be allowed to for infrastructure finance single individual projects of the federal Plan of transport because the European norms violate on the aids of State.
Peters has evidenced that, vice versa, the European Parliament and the Member States, with the directive on the concessions and the regulations on the ports, have traced a clear way that is feed with unanimous decision.
The association of the German ports therefore has exhorted the Member States of the EU, firstly Germany, and the European Parliament not to formally approve of the directive on the harbour services
