The issue of fair competition between EU and third-country airlines and the importance of guaranteeing a level playing field has been recognised for some years by the various EU institutions as key for the future of European aviation. The 2015 Commission communication on the aviation strategy underlined the importance and legitimacy of EU action to deal with possible unfair commercial practices in international aviation, and announced the revision of existing rules in this field. On 8 June 2017, ...

Trade defence instruments (TDIs) play a vital role in countering unfair trade practices from third countries and in levelling the playing field for EU companies, notably in times of mounting global overcapacity in a number of sectors. In April 2013, the Commission adopted a proposal to modernise the EU's basic Anti dumping and Anti-subsidy (AD/AS) Regulations. The reform was intended to enhance the transparency and predictability of investigations and increase the effectiveness and enforcement of ...

Competition in Air Transport

Studie 16-04-2018

Competition in the aviation sector pertains to different sets of rules, competition law on the one hand and, given the cross-border interdependencies of transport markets, international rules on the other hand. The workshop aimed to examine the current situation of competition in air transport using the proposed regulation on Safeguarding competition in air transport, repealing Regulation (EC) No 868/2004 as a practical example and starting point for the discussion. The Committee on Economic and ...

On 9 November 2016, the European Commission published a proposal for targeted changes to the EU anti-dumping and anti-subsidy regulations. The proposal was a response to the expiry of parts of China’s WTO accession protocol in December 2016 and to unfair trade practices from third countries. At the core of the amendments of the anti-dumping regulation was the use for WTO members of prices derived from constructed values in situations where there are ‘substantial market distortions’ in the country ...

Das Dumping und die Subventionierung von Einfuhren durch Drittländer sind unlautere Handelspraktiken, die dem einführenden Land schwer schaden können. Gemäß WTO-Recht kann derlei Schäden entgegengewirkt werden, indem besondere Verpflichtungen eingeführt werden, sogenannte handelspolitische Schutzmaßnahmen (TDI). Damit die TDI der EU bei aktuellen Gegebenheiten – vor allem Überkapazität – im internationalen Handelsumfeld greifen können, hat die Kommission vorgeschlagen, die Antidumping-Verordnung ...

The IA appears to provide a well-researched explanation of the evidence base for the legislative proposal; it clearly explains the scale of the problem, illustrated by facts and figures giving a clear view of the international situation. However, a better, more coherent organisation of the data related to the problem definition, and a broader range of options, would have strengthened the IA. Option 3 is the only viable one to address all the objectives, although – as also indicated by stakeholders ...

Die Berechnung der Dumpingspannen ist in Anti-dumpinguntersuchungen aus zwei Gründen von grund-legender Bedeutung: Erstens ist sie die Grundvoraus-setzung für die Einführung einer Antidumpingmaßnah-me; das Vorliegen von Dumping gilt dann als nachge-wiesen, wenn die Dumpingspanne über der Gering-fügigkeitsschwelle (d. h. über 2 %) liegt. Zweitens wird durch sie die Obergrenze für einen Antidumping-Zollsatz definiert, sofern es zu dessen Anwendung kommt. Die Methode zur Berechnung von Dumping-spannen ...

This paper assesses two vital issues concerning the EU’s trade defence activities. The first aspect concerns a transparency issue and the second pertains to the practical application of the trade defence instruments. On the first aspect, the paper concludes that the Annual Report issued by the European Commission to the European Parliament on trade defence activities needs a fundamental revision in terms of structure, content and timing of its issuance. In its current format the Annual Report fails ...

Proceedings of the Workshop on "Modernisation of the EU's Trade defence instruments", held on 7 November 2013, in Brussels.

This study provides an analysis of the current state of play as regards EU administrative law in the field of trade policy. This is an established area of EU policy, in which a range of administrative-type measures are adopted at central EU level. The study first attempts to define the scope of the EU’s administrative law in trade matters. It subsequently explores whether there are any best practices in this field, which may be relevant to other areas of EU administrative law, or which may inspire ...
