  • La Belgique doit suivre l'exemple néerlandais et anticiper la libéralisation du tour de rôle
    "Les années 1996 et 1997 ont été des années importantes pour la navigation intérieure. Fin novembre 1996, la directive 96/75 du Conseil des Ministres était publiée.

Puisque les Pays-Bas ont l'intention de supprimer le tour de rôle à partir du premier décembre 1998, la Belgique devrait s'y adapter au bénéfice de la navigation intérieure belge et des ports belges."
