EU Regulation and Competition Law in the Transport Sector provides an in-depth analysis of the EU regulation of the various transport modes, and of the EU competition rules in the transport sectior. The text gives details of different substantive rules regarding, on the one hand, liberalization and regulation of transport markets and operations; and, on the other, restrictive agreements, dominant positions, and mergers, which apply to shipping, to aviation, and to inland transport. In addition to illustrating the procedures which govern enforcement of EU competition rules,and indicating how these differ from the usual procedures applied by the European Commission, this new edition addresses the recent emergence of a regulatory framework for different transport modes. The editors and authors have all been closely involved in the development of the Commission''s practice in this area and have provided a detailed contemporary discussion of all relevant issues.
