Main results of the Council + Port services The Council adopted a general approach on a draft regulation on market access to port services and financial transparency of ports. The new rules are expected to promote fairer competition and reduce legal uncertainties, thereby encouraging efficient port services and investment in ports. + Road traffic offences The Council also adopted a general approach on a draft directive on the cross-border exchange of information on road traffic offences. This comes only five months after the Court of Justice annulled the previous directive on the grounds of an incorrect legal basis. + Railway market opening and governance + Ministers held a policy debate on two proposals to improve rail services in the EU through market opening for domestic passenger services and stronger governance (fourth railway package). The discussion will guide future work on the proposals. + Civilian drones Ministers also held a public policy debate on the development of civilian drones in Europe and their future use in an airspace open to general traffic. + Single European Sky The Council took note of a progress report on a proposed revision of the Single European Sky rules, aimed at speeding up the modernisation of EU air traffic management. |
