L’aviation civile américaine aura du mal à se remettre des attaques terroristes Suite aux attaques terroristes avec des avions civils sur le World Trade Center à New York et le Pentagone à Washington, l’aviation civile en Amérique et dans le reste du monde pourra s’attendre à des contrôles approfondis. Surtout sur le plan de la sécurité, il reste beaucoup à faire. Plus que jamais, un pacte de sécurité global pour la navigation aérienne prescrivant des normes et contrôles sévères s’impose afin de réduire au maximum la répétition de ce qui s’est passé aux Etats-Unis mardi dernier. La CE persiste dans ses efforts réduire le transport routier La Commission européenne a approuvé hier mercredi, après des mois de tergiversations suite à des conflits internes, le Livre Blanc sur la politique européenne des transports jusqu’à l’aube de 2010. Cet ouvrage opte de manière claire et fondamentale pour une politique visant à donner un nouveau souffle aux transports ferroviaire, maritime et fluvial et visant à promouvoir le développement du transport intermodal. La Commission entend réaliser une grande partie de cet objectif en jugulant le transport de marchandises par la route. L’Autriche refuse le “nouveau Diktat” de l’UE sur les écopoints “Le nouveau Diktat de l’UE est inacceptable”. C’est en ces termes que le Kronen-Zeitung, le journal autrichien qui a le plus fort tirage national, titrait ces jours-ci son article et ses commentaires sur la décision du Parlement européen d’abolir la clause de 108 % des écopoints. Cette mesure revient à une libéralisation complète du trafic des poids lourds transitant par le Tyrol.
