Port services: market access and financing of maritime ports

As announced in Official Journal C 64 of 17 March 2006, the Commission decided to withdraw this proposal, following its rejection by the European Parliament at first reading on 18 January 2006.

This was the second time that the European Parliament had scuppered Commission proposals on market access to port services. In November 2003 it rejected, at third reading, the joint text resulting from a conciliation agreement between the Council and Parliament on port services (see procedure file 2001/0047(COD)).
