EC Competition Law in the Transport Sector provides an in-depth overview of the European competition rules to the transport sector. It provides a summary of the developments leading to the graduate extension of these rules to transport during the last decade. The book gives details of the different substantive rules regarding restrictive agreements, dominant positions and mergers which apply to shipping, to aviation, and to inland transport. It explains the procedures which givern enforcement of EC competition rules and indicates how these differ from the usual procedures applied by the European Commission. The authors have both been closely involved in the development of the Commission's practice in this area and are therefore able to provide an in-depth up-to-date discussion of all relevant issues.
