The European Committee of the Regions is drafting an opinion on “Clean Ports, Clean Seas – Port reception facilities for the delivery of waste from ships” on the European Commission’s legislative proposal to revise the port reception facilities Directive (COM(2018)33).
The topic is of high relevance to the CoR: Local and regional authorities are important stakeholders for the management of their ports and the reduction of waste in the various regional sea basins is also in the interest of maritime regions.
If you have any position papers relevant to the subject or any valuable input based on the rapporteur’s questions below, you are welcome to send them to us before the 1st of May at coter@cor.europa.eu.
Questions of CoR rapporteur Spyridon to the stakeholders on the revision of the port reception facilities Directive (COM (2018)33).
He criticised the effective monopolies enjoyed by the likes of Google, Facebook, and Amazon – comparing their market dominance to that of big oil companies in the past – and suggested ways they could be broken up.
