Assisting an important Mediterranean port

Summer 2014, PLA assisted an important Mediterranean port by analyzing state aid decisions of the European Union. PLA provided an overview of EU transport policies, focused on maritime transport and intermodality, as well as a broad overview of the EU legal framework within which seaports operate. In this project we also analyzed the EU reasoning on state aid in ports and how port infrastructure in the port was financed in comparison to other European ports. Finally, we defined a set of relevant criteria for the port to assess whether potential projects are likely to be eligibility for EU funding.
