  • Dunkerque attire des trafics flamands
    Le port de Dunkerque exerce un pouvoir d'attraction grandissant sur les entreprises implantées dans la région voisine de l'autre côté de la frontière avec la Belgique (qu'on appelle en flamand le "Westhoek", le "coin ouest"). L'achèvement de la dernière section de l'E40 à hauteur de la frontière, qui fait que cette autoroute se poursuit désormais sans interruption jusqu'au tunnel sous la Manche, joue un rôle appréciable dans cette évolution.

Le bénéfice net d'ECT est resté stable à 40 millions de NLG, montant déjà atteint en 1996 (contre 44 mio. en 1995).
