Recital 4
(4) The overwhelming majorityA significant proportion of Union maritime traffic transits through the core seaports of the trans-European transport network. In order to achieve the aim of this Regulation in a proportionate way without imposing any unnecessary burden on other portsand in recognition of the extra support for those ports through Union measures and funding, this Regulation should apply only to the core ports of the trans-European transport network, each of which playing a significant role for the European transport system either because it handles more than 0.1% of the total EU freight or the total number of passengers or because it improves the regional accessibility of island or peripheral areas, without prejudice, however, to the possibility of Member States deciding to apply this Regulation to other ports as well. Pilotage services performed in the deep sea do not have a direct impact on the efficiency of the ports as they are not used for the direct entry and exit of the ports and therefore do not need to be included in this Regulationnetwork. Future consideration may be given to its extension subject to appropriate consultation and impact assessment.
