Draft Law No. 15584<\/a>, concerning merchant shipping and navigation on inland waterways, as well as its alternative Draft Law No. 15584-1, back to their authors for further revision.<\/p>\nThe European Business Association welcomes this decision, which is in line with the position of its Logistics Committee. The Association did not support Draft Law No. 15584 in its proposed wording and submitted business comments to the relevant parliamentary committee. In particular, these concerned the risks of restricting competition in the pilotage services market, introducing additional administrative barriers for tugboat companies, and legal uncertainty regarding the approval of the methodology for calculating port dues.<\/p>\n
Referring the draft law for further revision creates an opportunity to take these concerns into account. The business community emphasises the importance of further developing the proposed amendments in dialogue with businesses to ensure competitive and transparent operating conditions in Ukrainian ports.<\/p>\n
