Egypt : new minimum for shipping agency fees

West of England's correspondent lawyers, Eldib Advocates, have advised us of a new minimum tariff for shipping agency fees for Egyptian ports and Suez Canal transit. This tariff came into force on 19 March 2003. Eldib Advocates warn that the application of the tariff will be very strictly supervised by the Ministry of Transport. The new tariff has been implemented by Ministerial Decree no. 75/2003 issued by the Minister of Transport on the 5th February 2003.
