Amendment: Shipping relations between Member States and third countries (Decision 77/587/EEC)

This procedure updates the rules for how EU Member States negotiate and conclude shipping agreements with non-EU countries. It ensures that maritime transport cooperation is coordinated at the EU level to maintain a consistent approach to international trade and shipping standards.

This affects national governments and shipping companies by streamlining the process for establishing maritime partnerships and ensuring that individual Member State agreements align with broader EU interests.
