  • “Le Livre Blanc vise à découpler - progressivement - le transport de la croissance économique”
    “Le Livre Blanc soulignera surtout la nécessité d’un virage vers un rééquilibrage entre modes, et donc un découplage entre la croissance économique et la croissance de la demande en transport. Mais cela ne pourra se faire de manière décrétée. Cela se fera progressivemennt et sur le long terme. Si nous arrivons à ramener d’ici 2010 les part des marché modales à ce qu’elles étaient en 1998, le chemin parcouru aura été énorme”. C’est ce qu’a déclaré la Commissaire européenne aux Transports Loyola de Palacio jeudi à Bruxelles à l’occasion d’un séminaire organisé par la présidence belge de l’UE sur le rôle du transport durable dans l’économie européenne.
  • La Flandre lance un programme de dragage des voies d’eau
    “La Flandre a libéré les moyens financiers nécessaires pour procéder au dragage de ses voies d’eau.” C’est ce qu’a déclaré le ministre flamand de la Mobilité Steve Stevaert à l’occasion de la présentation du rapport annuel de Promotie Binnenvaart Vlaanderen (PBV) à Bruxelles. A cette occasion, le président Filip Martens de PBV a une fois de plus insisté sur une réalisation rapide de ce programme de dragage. “La limitation du tirant d’eau a une influence néfaste sur la croissance du trafic car elle se traduit indirectement par une hausse des frets, ce qui rend le transport par la voie d’eau moins attayant.”
  • La Belgique a une infrastructure de transport dense mais inefficace
    Pour se faire une idée du positionnement socio-économique de la Flandre dans un contexte international, le conseil socio-économique de la Flandre (SERV) a rédigé un rapport éclairant douze domaines socio-économiques, dont l’infrastructure de transport. Il en ressort que la Belgique dispose d’une infrastructure de transport dense mais inefficace en comparaison avec les pays test repris dans l’étude.
