  • “Les goulots d’étranglement du réseau fluvial doivent disparaître en Europe
    Le développement des voies navigables est très en retard par rapport aux prévisions faites en 1992/94 lors de la présentation des ambitions.

Non seulement on est loin du compte, mais plusieurs projets majeurs concernant justement le TEN (Trans European Network) fluvial ont été annulés (Rhin/Rhône), ou retardés (Seine/Nord), ou encore suspendus (Twente/Canal de Mittelland). Résultat: des goulots d’étranglement un peu partout et alors que les instances tant européennes que nationales prônent un plus large recours au mode fluvial.
