REGULATION AND DEREGULATION IN INLAND NAVIGATION
Inland navigation in Belgium and the Netherlands has been liberalized since November 30, 1998 in consequence of European Directive 96/75/EC. The purpose of this Directive is, amongst other things, to make the sector more competitive. This paper, which was written before the liberalization took effect, constitutes a first attempt to model the consequences of deregulation. The first part describes the structure of the inland navigation market and the European situation before deregulation. In the second part, a set of empirical results is presented that helps to clarify the impact of deregulation on inter- as well as intra-modal competition.
