Competition: rules applying to transport by rail, road and inland waterway (repeal. Regulation (EEC) No 1017/68). Codification

PURPOSE: to codify provision on applying rules of competition to transport rail, road and inland waterways.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council

CONTENT: the purpose of this proposal is to codify EU provisions set out in Regulation 1017/68/EEC applying rules of competition to transport by raid, road and inland waterways. In codifying legislative acts that have been amended frequently the EU is seeking to both simplify and clarify EU legislation.

The new Directive will supersede the various acts incorporated in it. It fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together, with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.
