That ought to make a good story, the revival of British shipping and all that sort of thing.

Notified aid, ships and benefiting shipyards

Comments from the Association of Danish Shipbuilders

Finally Denmark claims that Danish yards have suffered from competition from Spanish yards that have received State aid.

The shipyards of Europe are beset by uncertainty.

The ultimate beneficiary of this aid was the shipyards, since the effect of the operation was that the shipyards were relieved of their debts to AESA.

This ceiling also covers operating aid to shipyards.

But these yards are of importance for entire regions.

Shipbuilding is often the key industry in such regions.

Loans provided by SEPI to three shipyards in December 1999

The regulation states quite specifically that European shipyards can only receive State aid if they are in direct competition with Korean shipyards.

In Danish shipyards, employees have already begun to be fired on the grounds that it is no longer possible to compete with the huge state subsidies paid by the Koreans.

All were going to be built at Camden, New Jersey, but they were canceled before construction could begin.

In 1984 Community ship yards employed 93,274 people.

This can only be to the detriment of European shipyards.

Finally Spain states that the problems faced by Danish shipyards are not due to competition from Spanish yards but from unfair competition from Korea.

ULBURGHS (NI). (NL) Mr President, European and Belgian shipyards are a dying species.

The current structure of the shipyards is thus as follows

This can not be considered to be a new aid to the shipyards.

In the Member States other than Spain and Portugal, shipyards employed less than 70 000 people in 1986.

And yet support for our shipyards has still not been given the go ahead.

The aid has been offered to the yards, subject to the Commission s approval.

In one operation (hereafter referred to as transfer 2), the SEPI owned military shipbuilding group Bazán bought AESA s three remaining shipyard companies (Puerto Real, Sestao and Sevilla) for ESP 1 each.

It claims that there are concrete examples where Spanish yards have taken work for which UK yards were also bidding, on terms that are hard to explain if normal commercial conditions were applying.

It could thus be tempting for the Spanish authorities to ensure that as many assets as possible were transferred from AESA to its shipyard companies and thus to the company that would take over the civil shipyards, Bazán.

By the beginning of 1998 the structure of ownership of the public shipyards was as follows

1.10 The Committee is convinced that regional aid is also beneficial for the shipbuilding sector.

Aid for restructuring of the shipbuilding sector during a restructuring period lasting until the end of 2008.

There are very few shipyards in the world and very few shipowners.

Thousands of employees and their families are affected by the economic difficulties of the shipyards.

Concerning this second supplementary and amending budget, nobody can deny that Parliament has the right to reject it in its entirety.

It was whilst working on the ships built by this famous firm that he took a vow to dedicate his life to the cause of British shipping.

It is good that State aid to shipyards in Europe should be phased out as per 1 January 2001, even if it is extremely problematic that our shipyards should continue to have to compete with the South Korean treasury.

In both Brittany and Galicia the shipyards have all but vanished, leading to industrial desertification of entire areas, and yet, the way things are, it does not seem as though these shipyards are going to benefit most from this Regulation.

We are implementing a series of measures to try to prevent the disappearance of European shipbuilders at a time when Korean shipbuilding and shipbuilding in certain other countries is growing as a result of the substantial state subsidies they receive, leading to entirely unfair competition.

The card game was discontinued in 2005, and the role playing game subsequently went out of print.

PFEIFFER. (DE) The Commission is closely following developments in the shipbuilding industry.

The improvement in freight charges is thus not sufficient to induce the shipowners to provide new shipping capacity.

The line being followed by the Commission can only be detrimental to the shipyards of Europe.

The background remains the same dumping prices in the Korean shipyards.

We have just heard the news of the bankruptcy of the modern shipyard at Stettin in Poland.

At this time, AESA did not have any activity, since it had already sold its last shipyards to Bazán.
