Le CDR, c’est-à-dire le consortium de réalisation des actifs du Crédit Lyonnais, avait tenté à l’origine de vendre le groupe Transalliance Participation dans son ensemble, mais il a dû finalement céder et vendre séparément les deux sociétés Transalliance et Stockalliance. A notre connaissance, il n’y a pas encore d’acquéreur pour cette dernière, qui constitue la branche logistique du groupe.
  • Douane: l’action spontanée pourrait déboucher sur une opposition structurée
    La douane a connu hier le premier jour de ce qui doit déboucher sur une vaste action dont l’objectif est d’obtenir que le cadre du personnel statutairement prévu soit effectivement complété. Le port d’Anvers a été touché par une grève du zèle, Zeebrugge par une grève perlée et le Limbourg et la Flandre orientale par d’autres actions des brigades mobiles. Etant donné que les entreprises portuaires avaient été prévenues, les actions n’ont pas entraîné d’importants retards. La question est de savoir ce qui se passera si les actions font tâche d’huile et se développent dans le temps et en intensité...

Cela ne se reflète malheureusement pas dans les recettes unitaires, a déclaré le président et CEO Christoph Müller. Le taux d’occupation pour 2000 s’est élevé à 67,58%, en hausse de 1,0 point par rapport à 1999.
  • Le plan de transport d’Isabelle Durant néglige le tunnel ferroviaire du Liefkenshoek
    A la veille de la discussion en conseil des ministres restreint (hier mardi) de ses projets concernant l’avenir de la SNCB, la ministre de la Mobilité et des Transports Isabelle Durant a voulu attirer l’attention du grand public, mais bien entendu aussi des autres responsables politiques, sur ses propositions concrètes visant à faire jouer par le rail un rôle plus important dans la résolution des problèmes de mobilité que connaît la Belgique. Force est de reconnaître que le transport de marchandises est traité en parent pauvre. Pour preuve, étant donné la limitation des moyens budgétaires, l’indispensable tunnel ferroviaire du Liefkenshoek entre les deux rives de l’Escaut à Anvers n’est pas prévu dans le plan décennal de la SNCB. Alors que, un peu tard il est vrai, les responsables anversois commmencent à tirer la sonnette d’alarme. Car on se rend compte que les différents modes de transport, route, batellerie, rail, ne seront pas en mesure d’absorber les trafics attendus à la Rive gauche sans provoquer d’immenses problèmes.
