Zeebrugge: l’absence de contrôle favorise la traite des êtres humains La proposition sénatoriale visant la création d’une commission d’enquête parlementaire suite à la mort tragique de 58 migrants à bord d’un container transporté sur un ferry de P&O NSF entre Zeebrugge et Douvres a été rejetée la semaine dernière.

Le rapport s’en prend plus particulièrement aux pratiques de P&O NSF et des services de douane dans le port côtier belge. Si la proposition a finalement été rejetée, c’est principalement dû à la promesse du ministre des Finances de mettre un scanner mobile à disposition.
