Sažetak
Traditionally, the maritime cabotage market in the Member States of the European Union
was previously reserved for domestic shipowners. This practice changed with Regulation
3577/92, applying the principle of freedom to provide services to maritime transport within
the Member States (maritime cabotage). Since the entry into force of Regulation 3577/92,
providers of maritime cabotage services established in any Member State of the European
Union may provide these services in all territory of the Union. The European Commission
has been supervising the application of Regulation 3577/92 and brought four reports on the
application thereof. In the years 2003 and 2006, the Commission brought Communications
on interpretation of Regulation 3577/92, which are very important because in them the Commission
brings its interpretations of certain provisions of Regulation 3577/92, which have
proved deficient and disputable in practice. The paper analyses the European Commission
Communication on the interpretation of Regulation 3577/92 from April 2014, in which special
accent was put on the interpretation of the provisions of Regulation 3577/92 regarding
the procedure for awarding public service contracts, their duration and manning rules for
ships providing maritime cabotage services. The Communication also provides an overview
of transitional measures for the application of Regulation 3577/92 with respect to Croatia
since its accession to the Union. Also, the European Court of Justice of the European Union
brought several judgements, in which some provisions of Regulation 3577/92 were interpreted.
These judgements will also be analysed in this paper.
