AN: K. Van Miert (DG IV) annonce la perspective d'un accord avec les armateurs "Nous sommes dans la phase de l'orientation post TACA et sommes très proches de réaliser un accord de principe avec les armateurs, qui sera publié, car les chargeurs seront consultés et pourront réagir. J'espère que cela résoudra les problèmes". C'est ce qu'a déclaré K. Van Miert, commissaire européen à la concurrence (DG IV) lors du 4e symposium, organisé jeudi dernier à Gand par l'International Schelde Faculteit et qui avait pour thème: Une concurrence loyale entre ports? Barcelone: l'angle le plus important dans le "triangle d'or des Pyrénées" Barcelone, troisième étape de la mission portuaire anversoise, est au centre d'une Euregio qui s'étend sur la Catalogne et les régions françaises Midi-Pyrénées et Languedoc-Roussillon, avec entre autres Toulouse, le centre de l'industrie aérienne française, et Montpellier. Cette région est appelée le "triangle d'or des Pyrénées". Pour le port de la capitale catalane, c'est là un hinterland potentiel de plus de onze millions d'habitants. Mise en service du nouveau feeder automobile "City of Amsterdam" Le nouveau feeder automobile "City of Amsterdam" sera présenté dans la capitale des Pays-Bas mardi prochain, en présence de l'ambassadeur japonais. Il s'agit du premier d'un trio de car-carriers qu'Euro Marine Carrier (EMC) alignera dans le transport intra-européen d'automobiles de la marque Nissan. Le concept des partenariats publics-privés fait son chemin Le concept de partenariats public-privé pour l'aménagement des infrastructures de transport semble de plus en plus intéresser les autorités. Au cours de la dernière réunion de la Commission des Travaux Publics, de l'Aménagement du Territoire et du Transport du parlement flamand, les membres de ladite commission ont attentivement écouté les propositions de l'expert néerlandais J.H.J. Zegering Hadders du groupe bancaire ING. J. Gabriëls, le président de la commission, a plaidé en faveur d'une régionalisation pure et simple des compétences relatives à la mobilité, le transport ferroviaire inclus.

APRIL 22, 1999
EU To Ban Oil Shipments To Yugoslavia The European Union is reportedly rushing through a ban on the shipment of oil to Yugoslavia, trying to implement the plan by early next week. The ban is intended to back up NATO's military campaign. The EU measure will bar the sale and supply of oil and oil products from EU countries to the former Yugoslav republics, including Montenegro, but it will exempt oil destined for humanitarian purposes. Daewoo In Talks With Mitsui Days after announcing it was selling its shipbuilding business, the head of Daewoo Group reportedly met with the president of Japan's Mitsui & Co. to talk about the sale. Bouygues Scoops Up Kvaerner France Operation French oil exploration firm Bouygues Offshore signed a letter of intent to acquire 100 percent of the shares of Kvaerner France SA, the French unit of Kvaerner. The company said the purchase would include the company previously known as Sofresid. No financial details were given. Mosvold Sells VLCC Norway's Mosvold Shipping Ltd said on Thursday it has agreed private terms to sell its 1974-built VLCC tanker Mosqueen for demolition. No accounting gain or loss was expected on the sale and the tanker would be delivered to the buyer in early May 1999, the company said in a statement. Inmarsat Publishes Ship's Directory A directory of ships with satellite communications on board is now available on a web site, mobile telecommunications provider Inmarsat said. Ships can be searched for by name with a minimum of three characters, Inmarsat said in a statement. The directory, at www.inmarsat.org/ships, provides telex, phone and fax numbers for Inmarsat A, B, M and mini-M terminals and telex/e-mail addresses for Inmarsat C terminals, it said.
