# The Merchant Shipping (Liner Conferences) (Gibraltar) (Repeal) Order 2008, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order provides for the mandatory provisions of the United Nations Code of Conduct for Liner Conferences, as implemented in Gibraltar by the Merchant Shipping (Liner Conferences) (Gibraltar) Order 1985, to cease to have effect, and makes consequential repeals.
Council Regulation (EC) No. 1419/2006 of 25th September 2006 (O.J. L 269, 28.9.2006, p. 1) repealed Council Regulation (EEC) No. 4056/86 and thereby removed the block exemption from Articles 81 and 82 of the EC Treaty granted to liner conferences, subject to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 15th May 1979 (O.J. L 121, 17.5.1979, p. 1), which gave effect to the Code within the European Union, has become inapplicable. This Order repeals the provisions applicable in Gibraltar which give effect to Regulation 954/79.
