Book Description
Liner conferences are among the oldest surviving cartels in the world. Created in the 1870s they have existed since on all the world's shipping routes. With the approval or tacit acquiescence of governments everywhere, they fix freight rates, control capacity and share markets. The United Nations Code of Conduct for Liner Conferences (1974) granted them global recognition and prompted the European Community to recommend Member States to join the Convention on the Liner Code (1979) and to grant them the most generous and extraordinary block exemption from EC antitrust rules ever (1986). The European Commission's administration of the block exemption has clarified some of its aspects and, to a certain extent, limited its scope; but until very recently, it has not questioned the appropriateness of the exceptionally lenient treatment of liner shipping cartels in the European Union. After a report by the OECD Secretariat (2002) recommending abolition of antitrust immunity for shipping cartels in member countries, the European Commission launched a review of the block exemption (2003) which has led to its repeal (2006). This book studies first the origins, the early history and the regulation of liner conferences in the world and in the European Community, focusing in particular on the Regulation which granted a block exemption to liner conferences. Then, it examines one by one the four conditions for a block exemption to be granted under EC law, and concludes that none of them is fulfilled by shipping cartels. Finally, it proposes some alternative scenarios and solutions for the adequate enforcement of antitrust law in the maritime sector once the block exemption has been repealed.

Book Description
This synthesis will be of interest to transportation agency administrators, planners, attorneys, environmental officials, and engineers in federal, state, and local governments, as well as to citizens interested in corridor preservation. It is especially timely in view of the ISTEA provisions for corridor preservation, although the requirements and conditions are changing. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to the experience and status of corridor preservation for highways in the United States. The report describes the many elements of the corridor preservation process, including project development, advance acquisition, fee-simple acquisitions, and other options, as well as environmental issues. This report of the Transportation Research Board presents detailed information on acquisition techniques such as exactions, subdivision control ordinances, transfer of development rights, purchase options, and access management. Detailed discussions of maps of reservation and legal issues, such as land use law, are also addressed. In addition, innovations in corridor preservation are highlighted and future research is suggested. This synthesis also contains several case examples that illustrate a range of practice.
