    Les grandes manoeuvres qui se déroulent actuellement dans le secteur de la messagerie en France et qui ont mené à une course effrénée à l”’accroissement d’échelle et donc aux concentrations, ont fait une victime de taille: Grimaud. La société, qui est un des leaders du secteur de l’express et de la messagerie en France, a été placée en redressement judiciaire par le tribunal de commerce de Bressuire. Pour la FNTR, cette faillite est la goutte qui fait déborder le vase et elle attire l’attention sur les dangers de l’évolution actuelle sur le marché de la messagerie.

  • L’assainissement de la concurrence dans le transport routier belge est en vue
    Patrons, syndicats et gouvernement ont conclu hier un protocole visant à rendre le secteur des transports routiers plus sain. Les mesures proposées dans l’accord ont pour but de permettre au transporteur sérieux de répercuter ses coûts sur le client. Cela signifie que des mesures plus sévères seront adoptées et surtout que les contrôles sur le respect de la législation seront plus stricts. L’exécution de ces mesures est prévue d’ici 3 à 12 mois.
