  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nThese Regulations provide for the mandatory provisions of the United Nations Code of Conduct for Liner Conferences, as implemented in the United Kingdom by the Merchant Shipping (Liner Conferences) Act 1982, the Merchant Shipping (Liner Conferences) (Conditions for Recognition) Regulations 1985 and the Merchant Shipping (Liner Conferences) (Mandatory Provisions) Regulations 1985, to cease to have effect, and make consequential repeals.\nCouncil Regulation (EC) No. 1419/2006 of 25 September 2006 (O.J. L 269, 28.9.2006, p. 1) repealed Council Regulation (EEC) No. 4056/86 and thereby removed the block exemption from Articles 81 and 82 of the EC Treaty granted to liner shipping conferences, subject to a transitional period of two years for conferences which complied with the requirements of Regulation 4056/86 on 18th October 2006. As a consequence, Council Regulation (EEC) No. 954/79 of 15 May 1979 (O.J. L 121, 17.5.1979, p. 1), which gave effect to the Code within the European Union, has become inapplicable. The present Regulations repeal the provisions giving effect to Regulation 954/79.",
