DRAFT COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No .../...

of 24 February 2014

amending Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 as regards its period of application

(Text with EEA relevance)

2014/C 56/02

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 246/2009 of 26 February 2009 on the application of Article 81(3) of the Treaty (1) to certain categories of agreements, decisions and concerted practices between liner shipping companies (consortia) (2), and in particular Article 1 thereof,

Having published a draft of this Regulation (3)

After consulting the Advisory Committee on Restrictive Practices and Dominant Positions,

Whereas:

| (1) | Commission Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 (4) grants a block exemption to liner shipping consortia from the prohibition contained in Article 101(1) of the Treaty, subject to certain conditions. That Regulation will expire on 25 April 2015, in accordance with the maximum 5 year duration provided for in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 246/2009. On the basis of the Commission’s experience in applying the block exemption, it appears that the justifications for a block exemption for consortia are still valid and that the conditions on the basis of which the scope and content of Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 were determined have not substantially changed. |
| --- | --- |

On the basis of the Commission’s experience in applying the block exemption, it appears that the justifications for a block exemption for consortia are still valid and that the conditions on the basis of which the scope and content of Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 were determined have not substantially changed.

| (2) | Regulation (EC) No 906/2009 simplified and introduced substantial modifications to the rules applicable to consortia. Since the new legal framework has been in place/applied for only short period of time, further changes should be avoided at this stage. This will avoid increasing the compliance costs of the operators in the industry. |
