  • L'AWZ rejette l'alternative proposée pour la darse à containers sur la rive gauche
    "Il est en théorie possible de réaliser une darse à containers dans le Waaslandhaven sans que Doel ne disparaisse... Mais l'expansion future du port rend Doel invivable. Plutôt que de laisser cette zone d'habitation s'éteindre à petit feu, le gouvernement flamand a décidé, sur base de nombreuses études et après avis, que Doel doit disparaître. Cela se fera de manière sociale et en concertation avec toutes les parties concernées, les habitants inclus." C'est en ces mots que Jan Strubbe, le directeur général de l'AWZ (l'administration des voies d'eau de la Région flamande), défend la décision de réaliser une darse à marée pour le traitement de containers sur la rive gauche de l'Escaut à Anvers. Strubbe réagit de la sorte aux récentes déclarations concernant une alternative réaliste pour le maintien de Doel.

La Commission va étudier l'origine des moyens mis en oeuvre par les postes allemandes pour réaliser toutes ces acquisitions.
  • La SNCF doit améliorer d'urgence la desserte des ports français

Il dresse une liste d'actions urgentes à mener dans quatre domaines: la route, le cabotage maritime, les liaisons fluviales et le ferroviaire; ce dernier se voyant décerné la palme de "la grande priorité", tant les dysfonctionnements sont nombreux.
