Market access to port services and financial transparency of ports (debate)
MPphoto
 

  Ramon Tremosa i Balcells (ALDE). Madam President, this port regulation is a very good attempt to set a level playing field for all European ports and also to enhance their competitiveness. Business as usual in some Member States has until now protected the interests of the centralised port bureaucracy of some Member States instead of the interest of consumers, enterprises and economic growth. Europe needs to be successful in sharing best practices, like the ports’ fiscal autonomy, among the more reluctant reformers of the European Union.

As a Catalan MEP I welcome this report and I hope that this legislation makes it through with minimum changes in the negotiation with the Council.
