  • Noord Natie: fusion et recherche d’un troisième partenaire restent les objectifs
    La réunion, mardi dernier, des actionnaires de la Noord Natie n’a pas causé de surprise. Ils ont été informés de l’évolution de la situation et tout semble indiquer que les négociations axées sur la fusion avec la Hessenatie se poursuivent, ceci pour permettre à l’entreprise de renforcer, en tant que manutentionnaire local, sa position dans le delta de l’Escaut. D’autre part, la recherche d’un troisième partenaire structurel s’avère positive. Un certain nombre de candidats (moins de huit) ont été retenus et pourront poursuivre l’examen du dossier jusqu’en octobre.
  • Les agents de fret aérien restent sceptiques quant aux exigences en termes de sécurisation
    Les expéditeurs de fret aérien continuent à avoir des doutes au sujet des exigences posées par les compagnies aériennes - et/ou certaines autorités - sur le plan de la sécurisation. Cette question a été abordée au cours de la réunion du Fiata Airfreight Institute à Rotterdam. En ce qui concerne le cargo agency agreement, on semble voir le bout du tunnel. Parmi les autres sujets traités, citons le rôle de l’ICT et les conséquences de la constitution d’alliances.
  • L’UE trouve un accord sur la répartition des écopoints
    Les ministres européens des Transports ont atteint un accord sur une adaptation du système des écopoints pour le transit de poids lourds en Autriche cette année, via la procédure européenne écrite d’application. Treize pays ont voté pour l’adaptation, l’Autriche était contre et la Belgique, qui a reçu 25.568 écopoints supplémentaires, s’est abstenue.
  • Les syndicats du transport vont manifester à la veille du Conseil “Transports”
    L’International Transport Workers’ Federation et ses syndicats affiliés dans le secteur du transport routier vont mener une campagne le 4 octobre prochain sous le thème de “Fatigue Kills”. La fédération européenne des syndicats des transports (ETF) manifestera également deux jours plus tôt, à la veille du Conseil européen des Ministres des Transports à Luxembourg. Des barrages filtrants seront plus que probablement mis en place aux frontières luxembourgeoises. Normalement, le trafic des voitures devrait être possible, mais pas celui des camions. La distribution de tracts devrait toutefois réalentir de facto tout le trafic.
