abstract = {This study offers valuable information for policymakers. As European
ports are increasingly subject to stringent environmental regulations,
it is essential to consider the competitive impact on EU ports
geographically located in Africa (also because the Canary Islands are
considered outermost regions of the EU). Policymakers should weigh the
long-term consequences of regulatory asymmetries on trade flows,
competitiveness, and the strategic positioning of European ports. In this
regard, the study highlights the need for a coordinated regulatory
strategy that considers the unique competitive dynamics faced by European
ports operating in African contexts.},
