  • L'UE impose des amendes "raisonnables" aux membres du FETTCSA
    La Commission européenne a imposé des amendes d'un montant de près de 7 millions d'EUR à quinze opérateurs de ligne, qui avaient convenu entre eux de ne pas accorder de réductions sur leurs tarifs. Ils faisaient tous partie du Far East Trade Tariff Charges and Surcharges Agreement (FETTCSA). Il s'agit des membres de la FEFC suivants Hapag-Lloyd, Maersk Sealand, P&O Nedlloyd, CMA CGM, K-Line, MISC, MOL, NOL, NYK, OOCL et des indépendants Evergreen, Hanjin + DSR-Senator, Cho Yang et Yangming. Le montant total des amendes, près de 7 mio. d'EUR, est relativement raisonnable, suite au fait que l'infraction des règles européennes de concurrence commise est moins grave qu'un cartel tarifaire.
  • Les priorités "Transport" de la présidence française
    Selon le ministre chargé notamment des Transports, la présidence française de l'Union européenne agira en particulier pour accélérer les mesures concernant la sécurité maritime. Objectif: imposer le système double coque dès 2008. S'agissant du transport ferroviaire, le ministre français se félicite d'avoir "fait reculer l'ultra-libéralisme". En matière de transport aérien, c'est la volonté de "ne pas céder sur le statut public du contrôle" et d'exclure "les critères de rentabilité financière" qui est mise en avant.
  • Elargissement de l'UE: la Commission estime que le "pas à pas" sera très difficile
    L'union internationale des transports routiers (IRU) tient à partir de ce jeudi son XXVIIème Congrès mondial à Bruxelles. A la veille de cette manifestation, une réunion a été organisée par la délégation de l'IRU auprès de l'Union européenne afin d'aborder la question de l'élargissement de l'UE. L'IRU a répété qu'elle est favorable à un élargissement progressif. Le représentant de la Commission européenne, toutefois, a répondu que cela sera difficile.
  • Stevaert subsidie un projet fluvial au détriment du rail
    Il y a près d'un an, nous écrivions dans ces colonnes que les Mondeo et les Transit actuellement acheminés à Zeebrugge via le rail pourraient être transportés en partie via la voie fluviale. Cette opération nécessite toutefois des péniches spécialisées pouvant transporter tant des voitures que des containers. Le ministre flamand des Transports, Steve Stevaert ("mon coeur penche pour le fluvial), libère 50 millions de BEF pour soutenir la phase de lancement de ce projet. Cela représentera 88.000 camions de moins sur les routes, annonce un communiqué avec un certain enthousiasme. Un peu de trop, car le cabinet de Stevaert oublie que les transports vers Zeebrugge sont actuellement assurés par 5 trains par jour...
