The European Commission, DG III, has published an invitation to tender for services to monitor the shipbuilding market in 1999 and to provide monthly, mid-term and final reports on the new building contracts concluded in the period.

The information provided in the reports should include the type of ship, parties involved, contract price and the related conditions such as delivery date and financing conditions. The reports should also give an appraisal of whether European yards are affected by unfair practice from competitors outside the EEA for the period under consideration.

These unfair practices could include applying injurious pricing and receiving countervailing subsidies. The study should cover ships over 5,000 gross tonnes, and should focus mainly on Korea, Japan, China, and Singapore, for which an information-gathering network may need to be developed.
