Time for Airbus to come of age
[LONDON] The official launch of the A380 superjumbo airliner on Tuesday is a remarkable tribute to how far the European Airbus programme has come in 30 years. Defying sceptics and the inadequacies of its own unwieldy structure, the venture has grown into a global industry leader, capturing 55 per cent of all new aircraft orders last year. But its latest project is, politically and industrially, its most audacious yet.

Assistera-t-on à une concentration des trafics de Mærsk Sealand à la Rive gauche? “Plusieurs raisons nous ont incité à revenir à Anvers avec une escale directe dans le cadre d’un service sur le Far East. D’abord il y a eu la conséquence de la fusion avec Sealand, c’est-à-dire une forte croissance de nos volumes. Ensuite, il y a les raisons commerciales, Anvers ayant progressivement pris de l’importance, mais notre part de marché y est encore faible et nous avons l’intention de modifier cette situation”. C’est ce que nous a déclaré Palle Weidlich, managing director de Mærsk Sealand pour le Benelux, lors de la réception donnée au Noordzeeterminal (Noord Natie) à l’occasion de la première escale directe du service AE 2 de l’armement et qu’effectuait le PC “Sealand Champion” de 4.200 TEU. La présidence française de l’UE veut des accords concrets sur la création de l’EASA La présidence française de l’UE veut que les ministres des Transports des quinze Etats membres de l’Union européenne concluent lors de leur réunion d’aujourd’hui et demain des accords concrets sur la création d’une Agence européenne pour la Sécurité dans la Navigation aérienne (EASA). La Commission européenne a présenté des propositions à ce sujet en juin dernier, qui ont été favorablement accueillies par la plupart des Etats membres. L’agence doit prendre la relève des Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA), un partenariat optionnel d’autorités aériennes de différents pays, également dans l’ancien bloc de l’Est. Les Pays-Bas misent sur la navigation intérieure pour le transport de marchandises La politique prônée par les autorités dans le domaine du transport de marchandises par la voie d’eau n’est pas suffisamment étayée et n’offre pas assez de garanties quant à sa réalisation. C’est ce que déclare le “Bureau central de la navigation rhénane et intérieure” (CBRB - Centraal Bureau voor de Rijn- en Binnenvaart) en réaction au Plan national de Mobilité et de Transport 2001-2020 du gouvernement néerlandais. Les Etats généraux du fret ferroviaire appuient une régulation des transports de marchandises La Conseil supérieur (français) du service public ferroviaire a récemment tenu ses premiers Etats généraux à Paris: selon son président Jean-Jacques Filleul, ils marqueront un tournant dans les politiques européenne et française des transports. Et la pérennisation de la manifestation a reçu l’accord de principe de la ministre belge des Transports Isabelle Durant qui présidera au second semestre 2001 les deuxièmes Etats généraux du fret ferroviaire.
