ATTN: ALL FULL MEMBERS
Dear Members,
The Secretariat was contacted by ECSA regarding the Turkish transit fees issue. It appears that, recently, Turkey decided to raise the light dues and life-saving fees applied in the Bosporus and Dardanelles straits, once again.
The last time this problem arose was in October 2022.
Members may note that EU’s Directorate General for Trade (DG TRADE) aims at engaging with Turkey on the matter.
Members are kindly requested to provide our Secretariat with any input they might have regarding this issue or with any other issue they might have encountered by COB 19 June 2023.
The feedback received will be shared anonymised with ECSA Secretariat and DG CLIMA in order to assist in the discussions on the matter.
Should you have any question, do not hesitate to contact us.
Kind regards
Emmanuel Vergetis
Regional Representative
Athens- Greece
