SUMMARY:Seminar on EU state aid regulation
DESCRIPTION:Patric Tomasso/Unsplash. \n  \nThe Research Group for EU/EEA\, Competition and Market Law and Bergen Center for Competition Law and Economics (BECCLE) are pleased to invite you to a seminar with Linda Nyberg\, from the department of political science at Lund University\, Sweden\, on EU state aid regulation. The seminar will take place at the 16th of October\, from 10:00 to 11:30\, in Auditorium 4\, Law Building 1\, at the University of Bergen. \nEver wondered why policymakers seem so convinced that more competition is the solution to all political and economic problems? Or why “free market” reform tends to end up in new forms of bureaucratic government rather than less? This seminar will try to answer these broader questions by focusing on the ideological basis of EU state aid regulation – a set of rules that prevents governments at all political levels from acting in ways that distorts competition. \n \nLinda Nyberg (phd) has a postdoc position at the department of political science at Lund University\, Sweden. Her presentation is a summary of her dissertation Market bureaucracy. Neoliberalism\, Competition and State Aid Policy that can be downloaded from this link. Her current research project focus on bureaucratization and better regulation policy.

SUMMARY:Seminar on the Extraterritorial Effects of EU Economic Law – EU Law Beyond the Union
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Sean Pollock\, Unsplash. \n  \nFor registration to the Seminar\, click this link. The registration deadline is the 1st of October\, at 18:00.\n  \nThe Research Group for EU/EEA Competition and Market Law and Bergen Center for Competition Law and Economics (BECCLE) are pleased to invite you to a seminar with Ass. Prof. Nuno Cunha Rodriguez\, Jean Monnet Chair in European Integration at the University of Lisbon\, Portugal\, on the Extraterritorial Effects of EU Economic Law – EU Law Beyond the Union\, at 2nd of Oktober\, from 09:00 to 10:00\, in Auditorium 4\, Law Building 1\, University of Bergen. \nThe application of EU Economic Law considers an appropriate link with the territory of the Union in respect to the basic principle of territoriality enshrined in public international law. However\, in some cases\, public international law allows States to exercise their jurisdiction extraterritorially. Including enforcing decisions of its institutions elsewhere\, and which has caused stir in Norway for example in the case of ACER in energy matters\, but also other areas such as financing and banking markets. \nOver the years\, EU Economic law has been expanding its territorial application\, by applying exceptions to the principle of territoriality and adding new elements of connection. \nThis phenomenon – that we designate the “territorial expansion of EU Economic law” – can be noticed in different branches of law\, like competition law – which was reinforced after the Intel case (case C-413/14 P) -\, Environmental Law\, Food and Consumer Law\, Data Protection and International Trade Law. \nAlthough it’s clear that\, according to the inherent territorial scope of TFEU rules\, the EC is not competent to assess an undertaking established outside the EU\, it’s also clear that the final decisions of the EC or the ECJ can produce jurisdictional effects in third countries. \nAll these topics will be analyzed at the conference. \nThis BECCLE Seminar will take place in Auditorium 4 at the Law Faculty of the University of Bergen\, located at the right-hand side when you enter the main entrance of the Faculty\, from 09:00 to 10:00. \nFor Norwegian Lawyers: Dersom det er nok interesse for dette\, vil kursbevis i etterkant av kurset bli utstedt til deltakerne til bruk for registrering av etterutdanning. For mer informasjon om registrering av etterutdanning hos Advokatforeningen\, klikk denne linken. \n \nAss. Prof. Nuno Cunha Rodriguez\, Jean Monnet Chair in European Integration at the University of Lisbon\, Portugal. \nTo be updated on BECCLE’s activities\, follow us on Facebook\, Twitter and LinkedIn.

SUMMARY:Lunchtime lecture on the "Fosen Line" saga
DESCRIPTION:Vidar Nordli-Mathisen (Unsplash). \n  \nThe Research Group for EU/EEA\, Competition and Market Law are pleased to invite you to the first of three Lunchtime Lectures being held this Autumn\, about the “Fosen Line” saga. The lecture will be held by Ragnhild Kristina Ølstad and will take place at the Faculty of Law\, University of Bergen. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRagnhild Kristina Ølstad will talk about the main hearing in the Fosen Line case\, which is currently pending before the Supreme Court of Norway. The case concerns the conditions for obtaining compensation for positive contract interest in Norwegian public procurement law. \nThe case caused a real stir after Frostating Court of Appeal decided to effectively ignore a judgement from the EFTA Court regarding the interpretation of the Remedies Directive – the first time such a rejection has come from a lower instance court in Norway. The case made controversy again when the Supreme Court of Norway decided to ask the EFTA Court for a second judgement in the very same case. \nThe case raises questions regarding Norway’s obligations under the EEA agreement\, the understanding of the Remedies Directive and the relationship between national courts in the EFTA States and the EFTA Court. The topics raised are thus highly relevant to all three EU/EEA courses on offer this term\, but should also be of interest for students in the 2nd\, 3rd and 4th year of study. \n \nRagnhild Kristine Ølstad\, Inventura. \nRagnhild Kristina Ølstad works with public procurement law in Inventura AS. She wrote her master’s thesis of law at UiB in the spring of 2018 about damages for positive contract interest in procurement. The thesis focuses on the Fosen Line case\, the term “material error” in Norwegian law in light of the remedies directive.

SUMMARY:Seminar on The Competitiveness and Regulation of Offshore Wind Electricity
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Nicholas Doherty on Unsplash.\n \nBergen Center for Competition Law and Economics (BECCLE)\, Bergen Offshore Wind Centre (BOW)\, and the Aberdeen University Centre for Energy Law (AUCEL)\, are pleased to invite you to the international seminar “The Competitiveness and Regulation of Offshore Wind Electricity” to be held at the Faculty of Law of the University of Bergen.\n  \nVenue: Seminar Room 2\, 4th floor\, The Faculty of Law.\n \nTo register for the event\, lunch and refreshments\, please send an email to Ignacio Herrera Anchustegui.\n  \nThe importance of renewable energy is beyond any doubt for the development of our society and the aim of minimizing the impact of climate change. In this development one of the relatively new actors that has erupted with strength in the last decade is the production of electricity by offshore wind turbines. Offshorewind power is no longer a theoretical possibility but an economic reality as the price per megawatt hour produce is reduced\, the turbines become more efficient\, the technology allows for them to be deployed further into the sea and there appears to be less issues of social unacceptance to this technology. Thus\, it comes with no surprise the interest\, for example\, of the Norwegian Government to develop this technology\, nor that European countries\, but also other nations like China are actively investing in offshore wind technology.\n \nHowever\, despite these advances\, many questions remain unaltered when it comes to the economic viability\, legal regulation and social perceptions concerning this source of renewable electricity.\n \nIn this international seminar we will discuss the competitiveness and regulation of offshore wind from an engineering\, law and social science perspective and focusing on issues ranging from the North Sea to Australia.\n  \nAgenda and speakers\n\nMeet\, greet and lunch\nDr. Ignacio Herrera Anchustegui\, UiB\, Preliminary remarks\nProf. Finn Gunnar Nielsen\, UiB and Director of BOW – The Bergen Offshore Wind Centre and Offshore wind realities and possibilities\nProf. Sigrid Schütz\, UiB\, From Strategic Marine Planning to Project Licences\nProf. Birgitte Egelund Olsen\, University of Aarhus\, Community acceptance of offshore wind projects: The Danish experience\nCoffee break\nProf. Tina Hunter\, University of Aberdeen and Director of AUCEL – An Ill Wind Blows: Perceptions of Wind In Australia And The Legal Framework That Perpetuates Wind Sceptics\nDr. Eddy Wifa\, University of Aberdeen\, Towards a Robust Offshore Wind Health and Safety Risk Governance: The UK Experience\nPhD candidate Mary Gilmore-Maurer\, University of Aberdeen\, topic to be confirmed\nCatharina Hovind\, master student UiB\, Offshorewind Licensing in Norway\n

SUMMARY:Guest lecture: State aid and tender procedures
DESCRIPTION:Photo: Avda / avda-foto.de\n  \nBECCLE has the pleasure of inviting you to a seminar with Cees Dekker\, Tuesday 12 March\, on state aid and the tender procedure \nDoes a Tender Exclude an Article 107(1) TFEU Advantage? \nOne of the elements of the concept of State aid as referred to in Article 107(1) TFEU is the element of advantage. The element concerns an economic advantage that an undertaking could not have obtained under normal market conditions. A common opinion is that a tender procedure regarding the purchase or sale of goods or services by a government body guarantees those ‘normal market conditions’. It appears however that the European Commission in several occasions considered transactions between government bodies and undertakings as state aid even if that undertaking is selected by a tender procedure\, for instance regarding the rollout of a charging pole infrastructure or the operation of a sports infrastructure. Furthermore\, for a state aid measure to be compatible with the internal market the use of a tender procedure sometimes is required. \nIn this seminar\, Cees Dekker will discuss these relations between state aid and tender procedures and the different approaches by the European Court of Justice and the European Commission. \nCees Dekker is a partner with law firm Nysingh in The Netherlands and has 30 years of experience in EU and Competition Law. In his practice focusing on state aid law\, he advises government bodies and undertakings how to shape financial relations in such a way that they do not form illegal state aid. He has been involved in several state aid notofcation procedures with the European Commission. Apart from being a lawyer in private practice he is a guest lecturer in state aid law at the University of Amsterdam\, a member of the board of editors of the journal Markt & Mededinging (“markets and competition”)\, as well as of the board of editors of Tijdschrift voor Staatssteun (Journal for State aid). He also is a member of the advisory committee on competition law of the Dutch Confederation of Netherlands Industry and Employers (VNO-NCW) and of the advisory committee on competition law of the Netherlands Bar Association. Recently he has been appointed as non-governmental advisor for the European Commission in the International Competition Network. \nTime: Tuesday 12 March kl. 11.00 – 12.00\nPlace:: Seminarrom 1\, Faculty of Law\, University of Bergen \nSpeakers: \nCees DekkerPartner\, Nysingh\n  \n

SUMMARY:Seminar om sukkeravgifter i lys av statsstøtteregelverket
DESCRIPTION:BECCLE og Forskergruppen for konkurranse- og markedsrett har gleden av å invitere til et seminar om sukkeravgifter i lys av statsstøtteregelverket. \nEtter at forslaget til statsbudsjettet for 2019 ble lagt frem\, har problemene med å skille mellom en marsipangris og en marsipanpølse i statsstøtteretten nok en gang fått oppmerksomhet. De omstridte og kraftige økningene i avgiftene på sjokolade- og sukkervarer\, og alkoholfrie drikkevarer\, ble klaget inn til EØS-avtalens tilsynsorgan\, ESA\, med den begrunnelse at avgiftene utgjør statsstøtte i strid med EØS-avtalen. \nMens man venter på ESAs vurdering er det interessant å få med seg hvordan enkelte EU-medlemsstater har utformet avgifter som også omtales som sukkeravgifter. Den 24. april 2018 godkjente EU-kommisjonen den irske sukkeravgiften; den danske er fortsatt under vurdering. \nPå dette seminaret vil Marteen Aalbers redegjøre for hvordan EU-kommisjonen ser på sukkeravgifter/sukkerskatter\, og Malgorzata Cyndecka skal gi en kort presentasjon av den norske ordningen. \nTid: Onsdag 21. november kl. 12.00 – 13.30\nSted: Seminarrom 2\, Det juridiske fakultet\, UiB \nPåmelding:Av hensyn til matbestilling er det påkrevd med påmelding til Malgorzata.Cyndecka@uib.no senest fredag den 16. november 2018. \nVel møtt.

SUMMARY:Recent legal developments and new energy infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:The Bergen Center for Competition Law & Economics (BECCLE) and the Centre for Climate and Energy Transformation (CET) invites you to an interesting talk about the recent legal developments related to the new energy infrastructure. \nTechnological changes\, the eruption of renewable sources and the increase of energy demand by consumers poses several questions concerning the adequacy of power generation and sufficiency and development of energy infrastructures. \nTo deal with these issues of new energy infrastructure the intervention of the state is common place. Either through the setting of rules\, and or the financing of infrastructure projects – publicly and/or privately owned. This state intervention generates economic\, political and societal impact which distort the competition between energy suppliers but can also be used to satisfy needs in the public interest. \nProf. Leigh Hancher from the University of Tilburg and the Florence School of Regulation will be visiting the University of Bergen to discuss her views concerning “Recent legal developments and new energy infrastructure”\, touching aspects such as the adequacy and legality of state financing through state aid\, the impact of new rules on gas commercialization and their impact in the Norwegian markets. \nTime: Tuesday 13. November 10:00 – 11:30\nPlace:: Jekteviksbakken 31\, Ground floor\, Auditorium\nRegistration:Due to serving of light refreshments we ask you to register by email to judith.dalsgard@uib.no \nSpeaker: \nLeigh HancherProfessorProfessor of European Law at Tilburg University and Director of the Energy Law and Regulation at the Florence School of Regulation

DESCRIPTION:BECCLE har gleden av å invitere til seminar tirsdag 23. oktober om den norske fastprisordningen for bøker\, som Regjeringen nå har signalisert at de ønsker å utvide. \nTid: Tirsdag 23. oktober kl. 12.15 – 14.00\nSted: Auditorium 3\, Det juridiske fakultet\, UiB\nSeminaret er gratis og åpent for publikum\n\nOpptak av seminaret er nå tilgjengelig under!\n\nDen norske bokavtalen innebærer at forlagene fastsetter prisen på nye bøker. Alle forhandlere må holde den fastsatte prisen til 1. mai året etter utgivelse. Avtalen gjelder ut 2018\, og bransjen har så langt fått unntak fra konkurranseloven § 10. \nForlagene argumenterer for at avtalen gir et større mangfold av bøker og hjelper nye forfatterskap. Konkurransetilsynet har vært kritisk og har argumentert for at bokavtalen kan undergrave kulturpolitiske målsettinger ved at den fører til høyere priser på ny norsk litteratur. I fjor varslet også ESA at de ville undersøke om bokavtalen går for langt og bryter med EØS-avtalen. \nRegjeringen har nylig foreslått å utvide den eksisterende fastprisordningen til å gjelde i ett år fra utgivelsesdato. I tillegg vil de at den nye avtalen skal gjelde i fire år\, i stedet for to som i dagens avtale. Forslaget skal snart ut på høring. \nTil å diskutere dette har vi invitert konkurransedirektør Lars Sørgard\, professor og økonom Øystein Foros (NHH)\, og førsteamanuensis og jurist Ronny Gjendemsjø (UiB og BECCLE). \nLars SørgardKonkurransedirektørKonkurransetilsynetØystein ForosProfessorNHH Norges Handelshøyskole\, Institutt for foretaksøkonomiRonny GjendemsjøFørsteamanuensisDet juridiske fakultet\, UiB\, og BECCLE\nPresentasjoner (slides): \n\nØystein Foros\nLars Sørgard\nRonny Gjendemsjø\n\n\nOpptak av seminaret:\n\n \nLes mer:\nUtvider fastpris på bøker\nGrande vil forlenge fastprisen på bøker\nAftenposten mener: Leserne taper på ny bokavtale\nBøker blir ikke dyrere med ny bokavtale\n– Gavepakke til forlagene\nUnge Venstre mener Trine Skei Grandes forslag vil virke hemmende på bokmarkedet\nBokavtalen (Forleggerforeningen)\nBokavtalen og fastpris (Forleggerforeningen)

SUMMARY:BECCLE Seminar: Damages for breach of Public Procurement Law - Fosen-Linjen AS v AtB AS and its implications
DESCRIPTION:BECCLE has the pleasure of inviting to a half day seminar on damages caused by breach of Public Procurement law and a look at the EFTA Court’s judgment in Fosen-Linjen AS v AtB AS and its implications. \nOctober 31 2017\, the EFTA Court handed its Advisory Opinion in Case E-16/16 Fosen-Linjen AS v AtB AS regarding the award of contractual damages arising from breaches of EU/EEA public procurement. According to the EFTA Court’s advisory opinion\, a simple breach of public procurement law is in itself sufficient to trigger the liability of the contracting authority to compensate the person harmed – if other conditions are met. The opinion appears to contradict established Norwegian and EU case law\, and\, therefore\, has created plenty of interest. \nIn this seminar\, we will discuss the Court’s advisory opinion regarding whether\, under EU/EEA law\, any breach gives right to damages\, if there is a requirement of ‘seriousness’\, and what the burden of proof necessary to successfully claim positive contractual interest is (lucrus cessans). \nTime and Place:\nThursday 1 March\, 10.15 – 14.30\nAuditorium 3\, Faculty of Law\, UoB\, Magnus Lagabøtes plass 1. \nRegistration:\nThe seminar is free and open to the public\, though registration is required.

SUMMARY:BECCLE Seminar: Local Market Structure and Consumer Prices: Evidence from a Retail Merger
DESCRIPTION:BECCLE has the pleasure of inviting to a seminar with Dennis Rickert on the effects of mergers and remedies in local markets. \nTime and Place:\nTuesday 20 February\, 14.15 – 15.30.\nAuditorium 2\, Faculty of Law\, UoB\, Magnus Lagabøtes plass 1.\nThe seminar is free and open to the public. The seminar will be held in English. \nMaterials:\nDownload paper... \nOn the topic:\nIn a recent paper\, “Local Market Structure and Consumer Prices: Evidence from a Retail Merger“\, Schain\, Stiebale\, and Rickert analyse the effects of a merger between a German supermarket chain and a soft discounter on consumer prices. Their findings indicate that both insiders and outsiders raised avarage prices after the merger\, particularly in regions with high expected change in retail concentration. In contrast\, they estimate price declines in regions that did not experience a rise in concentration but were poentially affected by the cost savings within the merged entity. They also provide evidence that remedies imposed by competition authorities were not sufficient to offset anti-competitive effects. \nNorwegian summary:\nEffektene av fusjoner og avhjelpende tiltak er ofte usikre og vanskelige å vurdere på forhånd\, særlig når fusjonen involverer mange markeder og ukjente kostnadsbesparelser. I en ny forskningsartikkel analyserer Rickert (og medforfattere) effektene av en tysk dagligvarefusjon. De finner at kostnadsbesparelser er reelle og at de påvirker prisene etter fusjonen. Samtidig finner de at effektivitetsgevinstene sammen med de avhjelpende tiltakene ikke var nok til å unngå konkurranseskade i lokale markeder der fusjonen førte til en økning i markedskonsentrasjonen. \nSpeakers:\nDennis RickertPostdoctoral Research FellowToulouse School of Economics

SUMMARY:Hotel rankings of online travel agents\, channel pricing and consumer protection.
DESCRIPTION:BECCLE has the pleasure to invite to a seminar with Matthias Hunold on the topic “Hotel rankings of online travel agents\, channel pricing and consumer protection”. \nTime and Place:\nThursday February 8th\, 12:45-14:00\nSeminar room 327\, Department of Economics\, UoB\, Herman Foss gt. 6\nThe seminar is free and open to the public.The seminar will be held in English. \nOn the topic\nThis seminar adds to BECCLEs recent focus on the online market for hotels in which platforms such as Hotels.com\, Booking.com and Expedia are major players. \nMatthias and his coauthors summarize their current research as follows:\n“We investigate whether online travel agents (OTAs) assign hotels worse positions in their search results if these set lower hotel prices at other OTAs or on their own websites. We formally characterize how such a strategy can be used by an OTA to reduce price differentiation across distribution channels. Our empirical analysis shows that the position of a hotel in the search results of OTAs is better when the prices charged by the hotel on other channels are higher. This is consistent with the hypothesis that OTAs bias their search results to discipline hotels for aggressive prices on competing channels\, and by this reduce search quality for consumers.” \nSpeaker:\nMatthias HunoldAssistant ProfessorDüsseldorf Institute for Competition Economics (DICE)

SUMMARY:BECCLE Seminar: Substitution between online distribution channels
DESCRIPTION:CC BY 2.0\, SarahDobbs\, Monopoly piece\n  \nBECCLE has the pleasure of inviting to a seminar with Thibaud Verge on the topic “Substitution between Online Distribution Channels: An Empirical Evaluation on the Scandinavian Hotel Industry” \nTime and Place:\nThursday 30 November\, 14.15 – 16.00\nAuditorium 3\, Faculty of Law\, UoB\, Magnus Lagabøtes plass 1.\nThe seminar is free and open to the public.The seminar will be held in English. \nOm tema:\nWebportaler eller “plattformer” er viktige for salg av en rekke tjenester. Et eksempel er reservasjoner av hotellrom gjennom plattformene Booking.com og Expedia. Vi observerer at mange slike plattformer påtvinger restriksjoner på hvordan selgerne (hotellene) kan sette prisene sine. Expedia og Booking.com har for eksempel operert med såkalte priparitetsklausuler (“price parity”) eller MFN-klausuler (“most-favored nation”)\, som sier at hotellet\, når det tilbyr et hotellrom til en gitt pris på Booking.com\, ikke kan tilby en lavere pris verken hos Expedia (eller hos andre konkurrenter)\, eller på egen hjemmeside. \nKonkurransemyndighetene i flere europeiske land har de siste årene etterforsket bruken av slike klausuler\, og fokuset har spesielt vært rettet mot hotellmarkedet og Booking.com. I april 2015 godtok de franske\, italienske og svenske konkurransemyndighetene forpliktelser fra Booking.com\, som gikk ut på at Booking.com ikke lenger skulle legge restriksjoner på hvilke priser hotellene kan tilby på andre konkurrerende plattformer. Forpliktelsene åpnet likevel for at Booking.com kunne legge restriksjoner på hvilke priser hotellene kan tilby på sine egne hjemmesider – de åpnet altså for såkalt “narrow price parity”. Expedia fulgte etter og tilbøy identiske forpliktelser kort tid etter. \nEn viktig diskusjon i disse etterforskingene har vært i hvilken grad Booking.com\, Expedia og andre uavhengige plattformer er gode substitutter til hverandre\, og i hvilken grad hotellenes egne hjemmesider er gode substitutter til de uavhengige plattformene. Thibaud Vergé vil belyse denne problemstillingen med utgangspunkt i en helt fersk empirisk studie basert på data fra det skandinaviske hotellmarkedet: \n“We analyze the intensity of competition between two major online travel agencies (OTA)\, Booking and Expedia\, and the hotels own online sales channel (website). The estimation of the substitution patterns between these channels can provide an indirect measure of the potential anti-competitive effects of price parity clauses. With a unique dataset of all bookings in two major hotel chains in Scandinavia over a period of five years\, we exploit the boycott of Expedia to estimate substitution patterns. Our first results indicate that (i) a substantial share of consumers seem to be loyal to Expedia ; (ii) remaining consumers tends to switch to Booking ; (iii) hotels’ own websites are poor substitutes for OTAs.” \nSpeakers: \nThibaud VergeProfessorENSAE/CREST and Norwegian School of Economics

SUMMARY:BECCLE-seminar med Gjermund Mathisen om ESAs innvendinger mot bokavtalen og reguleringen av drosjenæringen
DESCRIPTION:BECCLE har gleden av å invitere til et seminar med Gjermund Mathisen om ESAs innvendinger mot den norske reguleringen av drosjenæringen og den norske bokavtalen. \nTid og sted:\nMandag 13. november kl. 14.00 – 15.30.\nAuditorium 3\, Det juridiske fakultet\, UiB\, Magnus Lagabøtes plass 1.\nSeminaret er gratis og åpent for publikum. Seminaret blir ikke strømmet direkte på nett. \nOm tema:\nDen norske bokavtalen innebærer at forlagene fastsetter prisen på nye bøker. Alle forhandlere må holde den fastsatte prisen en begrenset periode etter utgivelse. Avtalen gjelder ut 2018\, og bransjen har så langt fått unntak fra konkurranseloven § 10. \nForlagene argumenterer for at avtalen gir et større mangfold av bøker og hjelper nye forfatterskap\, men Konkurransetilsynet har vært kritisk og har argumentert for at bokavtalen bør oppheves. ESA ønsker å undersøke om bokavtalen går for langt og bryter med EØS-avtalen\, og har av den grunn rettet en formell henvendelse til Staten ved Nærings- og fiskeridepartementet. ESA har bedt om svar på hvordan unntaket fra konkurranseloven er begrunnet.  \nDebatten rundt reguleringen av drosjemarkedet har versert i en årrekke. Drosjenæringen ønsker på sin side å verne om løyvekravet og kjøreplikten som sikrer tilbud og tilgjengelighet i de mindre lønnsomme markedene\, mens konkurransetilsynet lenge har tatt til orde for at reguleringen må endres. Debatten ble på nytt aktualisert da Uber forsøkte å etablere tjenesten UberPop i Oslo\, og delingsøkonomiutvalget konkluderte med at hele løyveordningen like gjerne burde fjernes.  \nSamtidig som debatten rundt reguleringen av drosjemarkedet har versert i Norge\, har ESA behandlet en klage om reguleringen av drosjemarkedet i Oslo. 22. februar i år sendte ESA en grunngitt uttalelse til Norge med innsigelser mot reguleringen. Etter ESAs syn innebærer både begrensningen av antallet løyver i et løyvedistrikt\, prioriteringer ved tildeling av tilgjengelige løyver og kravet om tilknytning til en drosjesentral en begrensning av etableringsfriheten i EØS-avtalen som rammer forbrukere.  \nNorge fikk i utgangspunktet to måneder til å svare på ESAs innvendinger\, men har fått utsatt fristen til 20. desember. I følge samferdselsminister Ketil Solvik Olsen trenger regjeringen noe mer tid til å vurdere hvordan drosjereguleringen skal være i fremtiden\, og det blir lagt vekt på å finne løsninger som skal sikre et tilstrekkelig tilbud i hele landet. En grunngitt uttalelse er andre steg i en traktatbruddsprosedyre dersom ESA mistenker at et av EFTA EØS-landene ikke har overholdt sine forpliktelser etter EØS-avtalen. Etter fristens utløp kan ESA basert på svaret velge å ta saken inn for EFTA-domstolen. \n13. november kommer Gjermund Mathisen\, direktør for ESAs konkurranse- og statsstøtteavdeling til Bergen. I den anledning har vi på BECCLE gleden av å invitere til et seminar hvor Mathisen vil diskutere ESAs innvendinger og bekymringer rundt både drosjereguleringen og bokavtalen. \nInnledere: \nGjermund MathisenKonkurranse- og statsstøttedirektør\, EFTAs overvåkningsorgan\nLes mer: \n– ESAs grunngitte uttalelse om taxireguleringen i Oslo\n– Delingsøkonomiutvalget\n– NOU 2017: 4 – Delingsøkonomien – Muligheter og utfordringer\n– En taxinæring tilpasset kundene\n– Drosjepolitikk for kundene\n– Feilaktige påstander om drosjefrislipp\n– Kontrollorgan krasjer forlagenes fest\n– Opphev bokavtalen!\n– Et argument for boklov
