4. Concluding remarks

New proposal EU Port Regulation is not radical nor very interventionist – it supports role port authority Resistance largely based on what happened in the past (port packages) Political process seems to lead to an ‘empty box’ Will there be a ‘gouvernement des juges’ instead? Clear legal framework is in the interest of customers, service providers and port authorities Problems do not disappear by avoiding them
