ESPO's contribution to the first round of public consultation on the GBER
24 May 2016
There is considerable diversity within ports in Europe in the way they are financed, with a mixture of private and public funding. This position paper outlines certain points of common understanding among ESPO members about state aid to ports in general and the proposal for a GBER for ports in particular. This ESPO contribution to the public consultation has to be considered together with the individual contributions from ESPO members, reflecting the diversity in which ports in Europe are financed and organised.
