  • Note De Synthèse N°115
    Note de Synthèse n°115 Mai 2009 Le Détroit du Pas-de-Calais Plus court passage avec l'Angleterre, le détroit du Pas de Calais constitue le plus important lien maritime de transbordement d’Europe avec 14 M de passagers et 2,5 M d'unités roulantes en 2008. Pourtant depuis quinze ans, la concurrence du tunnel sous la Manche représente une alternative conséquente, mais au final limitée en parts de marché à un tiers des flux. Si la concurrence modale a été intégrée dans le fonctionnement du marché du détroit, les différents changements de l’économie britannique affectent fortement les flux de passagers et de fret. Les compagnies doivent donc s’adapter à un flux massif et structuré, mais dont les à-coups provoquent régulièrement des ajustements de marché. L'évolution contextuelle des échanges du Détroit la longue distance (Eurostars et trains de fret). Le L'état des économies britannique et irlandaise est marché maritime a donc eu le temps de se fondamental pour l'évolution des échanges maritimes de reconstruire et par deux fois est devenu le seul moyen transbordement avec la Grande-Bretagne. Elle quand des incendies réduisent totalement ou conditionne la demande de produits européens pour le partiellement l’activité d’Eurotunnel (celui du 11 fret et via le pouvoir d'achat des Britanniques la septembre 2008 a couté six mois de service des consommation de vacances. Ces dernières années, leur navettes). Eurotunnel, forcé à trouver rapidement le aisance économique les avait éloignés des vacances sur chemin de la rentabilité, a donc privilégié une le continent proche au profit de destinations plus approche commerciale rigide (grands comptes, distantes accessibles par le transport aérien bon marché voyageurs "pressés" prêts à payer ce service).

  • Les Marchés Rouliers En Europe Du Nord
    Note de synthèse n° 74 avril 2005 Les marchés rouliers en Europe du Nord Le marché des transbordements rouliers est un marché maritime tout à fait particulier car, qu'il s'agisse des trafics de passagers ou de fret roulant, le niveau de concurrence est bien plus fort que dans les autres secteurs maritimes. A l'ancienne concurrence entre opérateurs s'est ajoutée celle d'autres modes (aviation, liens fixes). Pour répondre à cette concurrence nouvelle, on observe une réorganisation permanente des acteurs dans un contexte de marché qui, malgré un développement permis par l'expansion territoriale de l'UE, est tout de même privé des moteurs économiques extra européens qui alimentent le vrac et le conteneur. Les spécificités du marché roulier La concurrence entre opérateurs maritimes ne se fait L'activité roulière, passagers et fret, repose sur que rarement sur le même trajet, à l’exception de l'organisation d'une ligne régulière préalable à la certains liens courts et massifs (Calais - Douvres, demande1, là où le franchissement de la mer est Dublin – Holyhead, Helsinki – Tallin, Rostock – incontournable (îles, péninsules) ou préférable (mers Trelleborg…). Généralement, les particuliers et les intérieures). Pour ces liaisons, le marché est varié : transporteurs routiers ont le choix entre plusieurs passagers, véhicules particuliers et collectifs, frets itinéraires avec la possibilité d'optimiser soit leur roulants (camions, remorques), marchandises et parcours routier soit leur parcours maritime dans le conteneurs sur mafi et, dans certains cas des voitures contexte d'une couverture autoroutière européenne de neuves. plus en plus large. Ainsi, pour relier Travemunde en Ces différents segments de marché peuvent être Suède, des services existent au départ des ports associés sur des navires relativement variés : navires allemands de Travemünde, Rostock ou Sassnitz.

    APPENDIX A Terms of reference and conduct of the inquiry Terms of reference 1. On 29 October 2012, the OFT sent the following reference to the CC: 1. In exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Enterprise Act 2002 (‘the Act’) to make a reference to the Competition Commission (‘the CC’) in relation to a completed merger, the Office of Fair Trading (‘the OFT’) believes that it is or may be the case that: (a) a relevant merger situation has been created in that: (i) enterprises carried on by or under the control of Groupe Eurotunnel S.A. have ceased to be distinct from enterprises comprising certain assets of former SeaFrance S.A.; and (ii) the condition specified in section 23(3) of the Act is satisfied; and (b) the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods or services, including the supply of passenger and freight trans- port services on the short sea channel crossing.1 2. Therefore, in exercise of its duty under section 22(1) of the Act, the OFT hereby refers to the CC, for investigation and report within a period ending on 14 April 2013, on the following questions in accordance with section 35(1) of the Act: (a) whether a relevant merger situation has been created; and (b) if so, whether the creation of that situation has resulted or may be expected to result in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the UK for goods and services.

  • Competition Commission Investigation Eurotunnel's Acquisition of Assets
    Competition Commission Investigation Eurotunnel's acquisition of assets from the liquidator of Sea France Response to CC Provisional Findings 1. Executive Summary 1.1 This Response provides the SCOP's preliminary views on the CC's Provisional Findings; the SCOP has responded separately to the CC's Notice on possible remedies. 1.2 In short, the SCOP does not agree with the conclusions reached by the CC in the provisional findings. 1.3 First, the SCOP does not agree with the CC's conclusions that the transaction is a relevant merger situation for the purposes of section 35 of the Enterprise Act, because acquisition of the Vessels in the circumstances of this case does not constitute acquisition of an 'enterprise'. 1.4 Second, the SCOP has concerns about the CC's conclusions on the counterfactual. In its response to the Remedies Notice, the SCOP has already raised concerns about the incompatibility of the CC's conclusions both with regard to the decision of the French Competition Authority ("FCA") and, more fundamentally, with the order of the French Tribunal de Commerce. The SCOP also considers the conclusion on the exiting firm scenario to be extraordinary in the circumstances. 1.5 Third, the SCOP considers that the CC's conclusions are not supported by the evidence and/or that material facts have not been adequately assessed. 1.6 The launch of the MyFerryLink business ("MFL") has been clearly pro-competitive, resulting in an increase in the number of ferry operators from 2 to 3, with a consequent increase in choice to the benefit of passenger and freight customers across the short sea.
