According to the association, once the situation has stabilised, a new strategy will have to be defined
April 30, 2020
According to the European Sea Ports Organisation (ESPO), the first Europe's priorities should be the preparation of a restart plan, with the definition of measurements and tools to enable a rapid recovery in economic activity and while ensuring that this happens in a way that is health-care, developing, among other things, health-care plans necessary for the economy and society to be able to re-enable with a social distance of 1.5 meters.
In addition, according to ESPO, it is important that policies and financial instruments in place for infrastructure projects in the ports, and in particular the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), can be further strengthened so that a vital sector such as the port sector can recover quickly after the crisis and continue with investment already Scheduled.
The second phase proposed by the Association of European Ports should be triggered as soon as the crisis situation will stabilize with the beginning of a "new normal". At that point, for ESPO, a new transport strategy by setting its objectives, ambitions and long-term initiatives. This strategy - specified ESPO - should take note of the consequences and teachings drawn from this crisis and and be based on the new reality post-crisis.
