Policy & Compliance
T he European Commission published a press release in October announcing that it has decided not to extend the Consortia Block Exemption Regulation (CBER) for liner shipping. Within the EU, there had been growing opposition to renewing the CBER, with CLECAT being one of the leading voices against retaining the CBER. BIFA congratulates it on its successful campaign on behalf of the EU forwarding community to ensure that shipping lines will in future be subject to competition law. In the UK, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has been undertaking a similar review of the UK’s CBER, with BIFA submitting evidence on behalf of its Members. At the time of writing, the result of this review was not known. Scan the QR
