(4) At the end of the transition period provided for by the second paragraph of Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 1419/2006, the prohibition in Article 81(1) of the Treaty will apply to scheduled maritime transport services and, as a consequence, shipping conferences will no longer be allowed to operate in trade to or from the ports of the Member States.

Regulation (EEC) No 954/79 shall be repealed.
