    Trente mille caisses mobiles renvoyées du rail à la route (depuis ce début mars) pour les transports automobiles entre l'Espagne et l'Allemagne: c'est avec cette très mauvaise nouvelle que Søren Rasmussen, directeur général d'Intercontainer-Interfrigo, a terminé son exposé sur la coopération entre les entreprises ferroviaires et les clients des couloirs de fret transeuropéens.

Ils préféreraient que Bruxelles définisse de manière plus claire les règles auxquelles sont soumises les aides publiques au secteur, indiquent leurs organisations ESPO (European Sea Ports Organisation) et FEPORT (Federation of European Private Port Operators) dans un communiqué.
