  • CA en baisse et bénéfices en hausse pour Corneel Geerts en 1998

Les résultats enregistrés au cours des 11 premiers mois de 1998 sont très positifs. Il s'attend pour 1999 à la mise en chantier de plusieurs projets (dont la création d'une filiale en Tchéquie), dans lesquels le transport combiné jouera un rôle important. "Le seul écueil demeure la liaison entre l'Italie et la Belgique, où la qualité de service est totalement insuffisante et où les limitations de gabarit m'empêchent de faire certains choix techniques. Je cherche une solution, mais ne l'ai pas encore trouvée", nous a-t-il dit.

Le ministre a demandé à l'institut de recherche sur la sécurité routière SWOV d'étudier le concept.
