  • Le groupe français Giraud de plus en plus européen
    En 1991, le groupe Giraud réalisait 25% de son chiffre d'affaires à l'international. Aujourd'hui, c'est déjà 50%.

  • Des contrôles supplémentaires des poids lourds le long des routes généreraient une économie de 530 mio. d'EUR

Louis Gallois, président de la SNCF, a en tout cas promis de traiter le dossier Sernam en priorité. Une filialisation semble inévitable, vore, à plus long terme, la privatisation.
  • Les employeurs portuaires gantois veulent davantage de dockers disponibles
    Dans son discours de nouvel an, l'échevin du port de Gand Daniël Termont à notamment pointé la forse hausse de la demande en travail portuaire en 1998 et au manque de dockers qui s'est manifesté durant certaines périodes de pointe. Il a lancé un appel à l'embauche de nouveaux ouvriers portuaires. Les employeurs portuaires voient les choses sous un angle légèrement différent. Le contingent d'ouvriers portuaires gantois est suffisamment étoffé du point de vue numérique, mais la disponibilité réelle d'une partie non négligeable de cet effectif pose problème, disent-ils. Du côté de la centrale des employeurs CEPG, on pencherait plutôt en faveur d'un assainissement du contingent: les dockers ne pouvant pas effectuer certaines tâches seraient alors remplacés par des nouveaux-venus polyvalents. Le CEPG veut cependant éviter tout conflit sur ce dossier. Le sujet sera abordé en temps voulu avec les syndicats.
