  • BPG anticipe sur la libéralisation postale en créant eXbo
    La première nouvelle filiale de BPG (Belgian Post Group) porte le nom eXbo et veut se charger de gérer les flux de documents tant des petites entreprises que des multinationales. L’entreprise mise à cet effet sur les marchés belge, français et néerlandais, qui représentent une valeur totale de 100 milliards de BEF. “Les activités d’eXbo représentent non seulement un important potentiel en termes de chiffres d’affaires, mais nous ouvrent en outre une niche négligée par les autres entreprises postales européennes. Cela permet d’acquérir en peu de temps une position dominante par le biais de reprises. De plus, nous ancrons ainsi les activités postales traditionnelles des entreprises dans notre groupe, ce qui nous offrira une meilleure base de départ lorsque les services postaux seront libéralisés”, a déclaré Frans Rombouts, l’administrateur délégué de BPG, en résumant la stratégie derrière la création d’eXbo.

  • COA: le projet de cabotage remis en question?

Si dans les textes, le projet a été bien ficellé, sa réalisation effective pose plusieurs questions, essentielles, sans réponses. Les milieux maritimes de la place de Dakar sont très préoccupés par la pertinence de ce projet.
