Lacier européen va-t-il subir un regain protectionniste des USA? Avec George W. Bush à la Maison blanche, il ne pouvait en aller autrement: une enquête a été lancée par la Commission du Commerce international américaine sur déventuelles pratiques commerciales qui nuiraient fortement à lindustrie sidérurgique des Etats-Unis. Une fois de plus, les sidérurgistes américains, qui considèrent que ce sont les importations dacier à bas prix qui sont la cause essentielle des faillites qui se sont produites dans leur secteur au cours des dernières années, sont parvenus à obtenir gain de cause. Des mesures américaines pourraient affecter les exportations de fers et aciers transitant par des ports comme Anvers et Gand.
P&O Stena Line peut poursuivre ses services ferry transmanches pendant six ans La Commission européenne a attribué à P&O Stena Line une exemption de six ans aux règles de concurrence européennes pour lexploitation des services ferry transmanches, tant pour les passagers que pour le fret. En janvier 1999, lentreprise commune P&O Stena Line avait déjà obtenu une brève exemption. Il est ressorti dune étude de la Commission européenne que peu de changements se sont manifestés sur le marché. Autrement, lentreprise britannique P&O et Stena Line Ltd., une filiale de lentreprise suédoise P&O Stena Line AB, auraient pu être obligées de mettre fin à leur collaboration. La Commission européenne a annoncé quelle continuera à suivre de près les développements du marché et collaborera étroitement avec les organisations des consommateurs et les autorités nationales durant lexemption, qui sétendra jusquau 7 mars 2007.

Exel contribue désormais au marketing de Ford Le prestataire de services logistiques britannique Exel et le constructeur automobile américain Ford viennent de signer au RU un contrat plutôt remarquable portant sur le soutien logistique des activités promotionnelles de Ford. Que ce dernier ait opté pour Exel nest pas vraiment surprenant: les deux entreprises se connaissent depuis longtemps déjà. Cela met toutefois en cause les activités de base dun producteur. Lors de colloques sur la sous-traitance dactivités, les orateurs avancent souvent quon arrivera à avoir des producteurs dont les activités de base se limiteront à la création et la vente, les étapes intermédiaires ayant toutes été données en sous-traitance. Avec ce contrat, il semble toutefois que Ford veuille également donner le marketing en sous-traitance...
