To be considered on Wednesday 3 September at 8.55am

Mr John Hayes

That the Committee takes note of European Union Document No. 10154/13 and Addenda 1 to 5, a draft Regulation establishing a framework on market access to port services and financial transparency of ports; supports the Government’s efforts to seek an alternative text, which removes those elements of its provisions that risk harming the competitive edge of the UK port sector; and further supports the Government’s determination to secure solutions that recognise and protect the UK port sector as an exemplar of the claimed underlying objectives of the Proposal, since it is already fully competitive, efficient and actively investing to expand capacity.

As Amendments to Mr John Hayes’ proposed Motion (Ports):

Amendment (a)

Mr Gordon Marsden

Line 5, after ‘sector’, insert ‘but believes the Government must commit to rigorously seeking the co-operation of other Member States in order to achieve that objective.’.

Amendment (b)

Mr Gordon Marsden

Line 8, at end add ‘and calls on the Government to continue negotiating but to resist any aspects of the Regulation that are sustained or added that do not address the continued effectiveness of the UK ports industry and its employees and that frustrate fair competition between ports.’.
