Abstract

This paper deals with the matters of market access and the organisation of the provision of technical-nautical port services in EU and Croatian law. Since 1997, when the Green Paper on Seaports and Maritime Infrastructure (Green Paper) was adopted and the enactment of European legislation applicable to the port sector was announced, these issues have caused numerous disputes among stakeholders. Consequently, the first European Union secondary law act on market access to port services, Regulation 2017/352 establishing a framework for the provision of port services and common rules on the financial transparency of ports (Regulation 2017/352) was enacted twenty years after the Green Paper. However, with that Regulation the issue of market access to technical-nautical port services is only partially regulated. For that reason, besides the Regulation 2017/32, other relevant sources of EU and Croatian law are analysed in this paper, and proposals for their improvements are presented.
