The EU Plan for Competitiveness
The long awaited EU Competitiveness Compass has been published, and it will certainly be extensively commented in the coming weeks. Beyond its content, we may already collectively appreciate the fact that competitiveness is high on the EU agenda. We also hope that the intentions will be followed by concrete actions.
FEPORT welcomes that ports and the maritime industry are highlighted, in this important document, as crucial for the future EU economy.
The European Union's (EU) maritime cluster is indeed critical in the context of global competition in digital dominance and decarbonization. While the EU is not as prominent as the U.S. in digital technologies or as aggressive as China in renewable energy production, more than ever, we should act to become more autonomous and consolidate our strengths.
FEPORT welcomes the intention to adopt ambitious EU policies that will have a significant role in driving sustainability and innovation in the maritime sector. The future policies should be holistic and not fragmented.
The EU maritime cluster encompasses shipbuilding, shipping, ports, marine technology, and blue economy sectors. The EU is home to some of the world's leading shipping companies, innovative shipbuilders, and advanced port superstructure and infrastructure.
The EU maritime ecosystem serves as a bridge between digital innovation and decarbonization. However, it faces stiff competition.
Digital transformation requires significant investment which smaller operators may struggle to afford. And when implemented, increased digitalization may expose the maritime sector to cyber threats, requiring robust defences. The good news, however, is that solutions exist, and many companies are taking efficient measures.
In many respects, the EU maritime sector embodies the challenges faced by many industries in the EU. While thanks to their massive investments in digital innovation and energy projects the US and China currently dominate, the EU excels in sustainable technologies, and innovation.
The key component of the EU plan should therefore be investment in those sectors where we perform and export. Our leitmotiv should also be “we need an assertive and offensive EU” and “not a defensive and protectionist EU” as there is no progress without real competition.
A real public-private partnership at EU level is also needed as will be crucial more cooperation between research centres, academic institutions, and the private sector to ramp up in terms of innovation.
Last but not least, we need to invest in people, those who are everyday working in the EU and for the EU to maintain and enhance its competitiveness.
Dear colleagues, Dear friends,
It will be our pleasure to welcome you on April 9th, 2025, at Residence Palace.
We are looking forward to having an interesting conference which will start at 9:30 am and last until 4:30 pm.
Looking forward to welcoming you!

09.01.2025 – EU Advances implementation eFTI Regulation - Brussels
The European Union has taken a significant step towards modernizing freight transport operations with the entry into force of the first set of implementing and delegated acts under the Electronic Freight Transport Information (eFTI) Regulation on January 9, 2025. This regulation will pave the way for the transition from paper-based documentation to standardized electronic data exchange across all modes of transport, marking a major shift toward a more efficient, transparent, and sustainable logistics sector.
Next steps for the eFTI Regulation
- January 2025: Member States can begin developing IT systems in line with the first set of eFTI acts. These systems will enable authorities to digitally verify transport information, moving away from paper-based processes.
- September 2025: The European Commission will release additional implementation specifications that will outline the technical and functional requirements for eFTI platforms, as well as rules for certification and service providers.
- January 2026: eFTI platforms and service providers will prepare for operational activities. During this phase, national authorities may start accepting data stored on certified eFTI platforms for inspections.
- July 2027: The eFTI Regulation will be fully implemented, with Member State authorities required to accept electronically submitted transport information through certified platforms.
This move towards electronic freight documentation will not only reduce administrative burdens for transport operators and national authorities but will also enhance data security and ensure smoother compliance with both EU and national freight regulations. By July 2027, secure, certified eFTI platforms will streamline data exchange, making the freight transport sector more efficient and effective.
The eFTI Regulation represents a major leap forward in digitalizing freight transport across Europe, ensuring that the sector remains competitive and capable of meeting the challenges of the future.

10.01.2025 - FEPORT and Partners Advocate for Stronger Rail Freight Frameworks – Brussels
FEPORT, alongside AERRL, CEFIC, CEPI, CLECAT, COCERAL, ECG, ERFA, ESC, EUROFER, UIP, and UIRR, has co-signed an open letter addressing the ongoing trilogue negotiations on the Railway Infrastructure Capacity Regulation.
The letter emphasizes the vital role of rail freight in sustaining European supply chains and the broader economy. Despite its significant potential, rail freight continues to face substantial challenges, particularly due to fragmented infrastructure management across national networks and the prioritization of passenger rail services.
To overcome these hurdles and advance the creation of a Single European Railway Area, the co-signatories have outlined seven key proposals:
- Harmonised and Binding Frameworks: Ensuring European frameworks for capacity management are binding and transparent.
- Incentives for Efficient Capacity Use: Introducing commercial conditions that prioritize capacity allocation for cross-border freight services.
- Integrated Train Path Management: Adopting a holistic approach to train path management, especially for cross-border routes involving multiple infrastructure managers.
- Socio-Economic and Environmental Criteria: Applying objective and harmonised European criteria for capacity allocation to enhance cross-border traffic management.
- Governance and Performance KPIs: Establishing a governance structure with key performance indicators, such as punctuality and border-crossing efficiency, to drive improvements.
- Enhanced Stakeholder Involvement: Providing capacity applicants with a decisive role through the establishment of a Rail User Platform for continuous consultation.
- Improving Upon Existing Frameworks: Strengthening the regulation to enhance the current Rail Freight Corridor framework without any regression.
The co-signatories urge institutional stakeholders involved in the trilogue negotiations to carefully consider these critical points, which are essential to the future competitiveness and sustainability of rail freight in Europe.

14.01.2025 – Port of Rotterdam and Port of Antwerp-Bruges present a joint study – Brussels
On 14 January, the Port of Rotterdam and Port of Antwerp-Bruges organized a joint event at the Solvay Library in Brussels to present the study “Value Creation for Europe: A First Study on the Value Creation for Europe’s Sustainable and Competitive Position of the Combined Ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp-Bruges,” conducted by Erasmus UPT and VUB.
Larissa van der Lugt and Elvira Haezendonck highlighted the findings, emphasising how the synergy between these two major ports results in a combined impact that is “greater than the sum of its parts.” This collaborative scale not only drives sustainability but also secures Europe’s industrial future in an increasingly competitive global landscape.
14.01.2025 – EESC high level panel on Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) in ensuring resilience and preparedness for both civilian and military needs – Brussels
On 14 January, the European Economic and Social Committee organized a high-level panel discussion regarding the critical role of the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) in ensuring resilience and preparedness for both civilian and military needs during times of crisis. The event brought speakers from NATO, the European Commission, and the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure, the Latvian Minister of Transport as well as representatives from trade associations.
The discussions echoed the perspectives evoked by Sauli Niinistö, former President of Finland, in his recent report on strengthening Europe’s civilian and military preparedness. The report emphasises the importance of integrating civilian and military priorities to create a robust and agile infrastructure framework.
The broader range of dual-use infrastructures and capabilities, crucial in times of war or crisis, urgently requires upgrading. A notable example in this sense is the investment needed in the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) to ensure the swift movement of military forces. The updated TEN-T Network Regulation now requires Member States to take military mobility needs into account when building or upgrading infrastructure on the network.
On the other side, the civilian sector plays a crucial role in supporting efforts during major crises, with measures that benefit both civilian and military stakeholders. Enhanced dual-use and civil-military cooperation based on the EU framework also includes climate change challenges and energy security.
This dual approach calls for new funding possibilities with a view to improving both civilian and military mobility. Until now, the EU has invested through the Connecting Europe Facility EUR 1,7 billion in dual- use transport infrastructure to co-fund 95 military mobility projects in 21 countries. To be eligible for EU co-funding, transport infrastructure projects must be useful for both civilian and defence purposes and be planned along the trans-European transport network (TEN-T).
17.01.2025 –European Commission Proposes List of Excluded Non-EEA Container Transhipment Ports for FuelEU Maritime Compliance - Brussels
The European Commission has presented a draft implementing Regulation outlining non-EEA container transhipment ports excluded from the definition of ‘port of call’ under the FuelEU Maritime Regulation. The proposed list, mirroring the list of ports under ETS Maritime, omits Tanger Med (Morocco) and East Port Said (Egypt). This step is designed to prevent shipping companies from bypassing FuelEU requirements by reconfiguring their routes at the expense of ports in the EEA.
FuelEU Maritime, of which the phase-in started January 1, 2025, mandates a gradual reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity for vessels operating within EU ports, starting with a 2% reduction this year and increasing to 80% by 2050.
To enhance enforcement, the scope of the proposed implementing Regulation aligns with that of the ETS for maritime transport, applying consistent criteria to identify and exclude neighbouring ports posing a risk of traffic diversion.
The draft rules are open for feedback until February 11.
FEPORT is preparing a draft reply to this call for feedback, underlining that although the proposed list of excluded ports helps combating evasion, it does not suffice to deter shipping companies from rerouting strategies at the expense of business activities in ports in the EU.

17.01.2025 - EU to Launch Enhanced update NCTS - Brussels
The European Union (EU) will roll out the latest version of the New Computerised Transit System (NCTS5) across all Member States on 21 January 2025, marking a major upgrade to customs transit processes under the Common Transit Convention (CTC).
NCTS simplifies the movement of goods between countries, ensuring customs duties and taxes are settled in the destination country. Operational since 2005, the system is used by 36 countries, including EU Member States and other CTC participants such as Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
NCTS5 introduces several key enhancements, including improved data requirements, mandatory six-digit commodity codes, and the ability to list multiple consignors and consignees in a single declaration. These updates are expected to streamline complex shipment management and reduce administrative burdens for businesses. From the implementation date, traders and logistics providers must ensure their systems comply with the new requirements by providing more detailed transit information.

22.01.2025 – Transport sector requests EUR 9.5 billion for infrastructure projects on the TEN-T network via CEF – Brussels
The European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency (CINEA) has received 258 applications requesting more than EUR 9.5 billion in co-funding from the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF). This amount exceeds by almost four times the available budget for the 2024 CEF TRANSPORT calls, for which the application deadline was 21 January 2025. Applicants will be informed about their proposals’ evaluation results in July this year, while the grant agreements for those projects that will be allocated funding are set to be signed by October.
The selected projects will contribute to the modernisation of transport sector in the EU, making mobility throughout the TEN-T network increasingly sustainable, smart and resilient to climate change.
FEPORT is of the opinion that the significant number of applicants and the large sum of requested funding are a clear signal of the CEF Transport’s relevance, showcasing the need to maintain similar programmes in the future.

27.01.2024 – ESPO’s and FEPORT’s joint position paper on the proposed amendments to the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Environmental Quality Standards Directive (EQSD) – Brussels
Ahead of the interinstitutional negotiations on the Integrated Water Management Directive proposal, European Seaports Organisation (ESPO) and FEPORT adopted a position paper calling on the co-legislators to consider the following recommendations.
- A balanced approach to pollution control for the entirety of the river basin is essential. The unique challenges faced by ports, such as the relocation of existing contamination through activities such as dredging and the management of drainage water, must be acknowledged.
- Operations addressing legacy pollutants should be excluded from the non-deterioration principle.
- Practical environmental quality standards for ubiquitous substances should be introduced, considering technological limits and natural remediation processes. Gaps in measurement techniques for reliable compliance assessments must be addressed.
- Transboundary cooperation must be strengthened by enhancing collaboration within International River Commissions to tackle upstream pollution sources. The current ‘shift of responsibility’ from original polluters to ports must be prevented, and source-based monitoring and remediation should be prioritised over end-of-pipe solutions.
- Mechanisms to reaffirm the ‘polluter pays principle’ must be established, to avoid such undue burdens on ports.
- Sustainable port growth should be supported by facilitating infrastructure development for the energy transition and TEN-T network expansion while meeting environmental goals.
The joint paper also called specific attention to the fact that dredging is essential for maintaining navigability and infrastructure development. Stricter EQS may complicate licensing procedures, hindering these activities. The proposed EQS for tributyltin (TBT), forms an example in this respect.

28.01.2025 – European Parliament Event - Zero Pollution in Action: Strengthening Pellet Regulation – Brussels
On the 28th of January, FEPORT attended an EP Event organised by Pew on the microplastics regulation proposal, in view of the upcoming trialogue negotiations.
The event was co-sponsored by MEPs including MEP César Luena (S&D), MEP Karin Karlsbro (Renew) and MEP Jutta Paulus (Greens)
MEP César Luena underlined in his opening remarks the need to maintain an ambitious approach in the trialogues, whereas MEP Karlsbro stressed the need for prevention. MEP Jutta Paulus pleaded in favour of an inclusion of the maritime sector and the labelling of containers.
The European Commission was represented by Ms. Emmanuelle Maire, Head of Unit DG ENVI B1, who explained the need for regulation as voluntary actions have not been delivering enough. She also pointed to responsibilities for operators to adopt a risk management plan and stressed operators are required to report in case of accidents causing pellet losses.
The event also featured speakers from several NGOs, such as Good Karma Projects, represented by Mr. Jordi Oliva, who stressed the need for all the actors in the supply chain ranging from the maritime sector to pellet producers to take appropriate action.
The perspective of certification bodies was provided by Martin Michelot representing TIC Council, while Ms. Morag Campbell presented on behalf of OSPAR who shone light on the organisation’s recommendations and guidelines building on Operation Clean Sweep (OCS).
The closing remarks were provided by Ms. Natacha Tullis speaking on behalf of Pew, who stressed that the adoption of the regulation should lead to a clear chain of responsibility in case of pellet losses.
28.01.2025- ITF OECD Stakeholders’ Consultations – Paris
Since 2007, the ITF Annual Consultation conducts a consultation of International Organisations to identify key topics in the transport sector.

29.01.2025 - Annual Single Market and Competitiveness Report highlights challenges and opportunities to EU competitiveness - Brussels
On January 29th, the European Commission has published the 2025 Annual Single Market and Competitiveness Report analysing the strengths and weaknesses of the EU economy. It provides the analytical context for the Competitiveness Compass, an action plan that aims to reignite economic dynamism in Europe.
The report tracks the evolution of 22 key performance indicators, such as integration in the Single Market, Research and Development, expenditure and electricity prices. They are crucial for assessing the EU's competitiveness, identifying areas requiring special attention, such as completing the Single Market, closing the innovation gap, decarbonising industry, and reducing dependencies.
The main findings of the report are the following:
- The competitiveness of the EU economy faces mounting pressure from several angles, including high energy costs and overcapacities in third countries.
- The Single Market, home to 450 million consumers and 23 million companies, is at the core of the EU's long-term competitiveness. Nevertheless, persistent barriers in the Single Market hold it back from reaching its full potential. Regulatory burden is seen as an obstacle by two thirds of companies.
- Europe boasts stable investment spending, strong research activity and an ample talent pool. However, businesses struggle to scale up, Research and Development expenditure remains below peers and digitalisation progresses too slowly.
- Europe has a strong industrial base, but high energy prices weigh on its competitiveness. The decarbonisation of industry and energy systems as well as circularity is advancing but should accelerate.
- The EU maintains its position as the number one global exporter of services and number two exporter of goods. Still, strategic dependencies and non-market overcapacities in third countries merit careful monitoring.
