A Política Portuaria Europea: os novos desafíos da gobernanza

galegoA Union Europea carece dunha lexislacion unica en materia portuaria, agas disposicions relativas as instalacions portuarias e ao funcionamento de determinados servizos tecnico-nauticos. Europa conta con mais de 1.200 portos, dos que 319 entre globais e basicos estan integrados no conxunto das Redes Transeuropeas de Transporte. Os portos desempenan un rol esencial no tocante aos intercambios comerciais da UE e no que concirne ao servizo de pasaxeiros na medida en que son nos claves na rede comercial mundial. Asi, o 74% das mercadorias extracomunitarias envianse a traves dos portos. O sector portuario europeo non e homoxeneo e repousa sobre diversos modelos organizativos. A diversidade portuaria europea, con diferenciacion significativa en canto a tamano, tipo, organizacion e forma de conectarse, fai dificil definir unha estratexia conxunta para afrontar os grandes retos actuais. O traballo aborda a analise dos avances na construcion dunha politica comun portuaria e asemade exponense as distintas concepcions cruzadas dos actores do negocio maritimo e portuario. EnglishThe EU lacks a single legislation on port matters, except for provisions concerning port facilities and the operations of certain technical port services. Europe has more than 1200 ports, of which 319 are global and basic, integrated into the TransEuropean Transport Networks as a whole. Ports play an essential role in the EU trade and passenger services, as they are key nodes in global trade networks. 74% of non-EU trade takes place through ports. The European port sector is not homogeneous and is based on different organizational models. European port diversity (in term of size and type of organizational) makes it difficult to define a joint strategy. This work addresses the analysis of progress in the construction of a common port policy, as well as the different cross-conceptions of the maritime port business agents.
