  • Commission des transports: “le réseau infrastructurel multimodal est un must absolu”
    Le Parlement européen (PE) débat aujourd’hui à Strasbourg du programme d’action de la Commission en terme d’intermodalité et de transport fret intermodal dans l’UE. La parlementaire européenne Adriana Poli Bortone a rédigé un rapport en la matière au nom de la Commission de transport du Parlement. Elle y affirme, sans aucun doute aussi au nom d’une large majorité de parlementaires, qu’un réseau infrastructurel multimodal est un must “absolu” - certainement à l’aube de l’élargissement de l’UE - pour un meilleur fonctionnement du marché interne, une plus grande mobilité, une véritable concurrence et une plus vaste union économique et sociale.
  • Leif Östling: “Nous voulons rester les BMW du camion
    ”Il y a deux ans au Salon des Véhicules utilitaires de Bruxelles, on pouvait voir le président de Scania rugir dans un GSM en martelant du poing le châssis d’un de ses véhicules. Il venait d’apprendre que, sans y être invité, Volvo avait acheté un paquet d’actions, ce qui était la première étape d’une OPA qualifiée d’hostile par Östling. Volvo s’était toutefois trompé: la Commission européenne a mis le haut-là et a empêché le rapprochement. Depuis, Volvo s’est marié à Renault et Scania à Volkswagen. Nous avons rencontré Östling lors de son passage à Bruxelles, où il présentait le tout nouveau moteur turbocompound de 470 cv. Nous avons évoqué la vente des actions de Volvo, la relation avec Volkswagen, les concentrations dans l’industrie et la globalisation. Östling n’a pas changé: il a confirmé la volonté du groupe de continuer à jouer cavalier seul. “Nous voulons être les BMW du camion. Il ne suffit pas d’être les plus grands pour être les meilleurs. Il faut produire de la qualité”, nous a-t-il dit entre autres.
  • Le projet de grand bateau de soutage se concrétise
    Le besoin de fournir d’approvisionner rapidement les navires en quantités de plus en plus grandes d’huile de soute pousse le secteur fluvial d’Europe occidentale à mettre au point des bateaux de soutage plus grands et équipés de pompes puissantes. Il y a quelques années, la direction de Verenigde Tankrederij (VT) avait émis le souhait de mettre en service un citernier de 10.000 t. Ce plan avait été abandonné parce que l’armement n’avait pas bénéficié d’une exemption à l’amende imposée aux entrepreneurs fluviaux dans le cadre du règlement “vieux pour neuf” s’ils mettaient en service du tonnage neuf.
  • La DB va-t-elle devenir actionnaire d’ECT?
    La Deutsche Bahn va-t-elle entrer dans l’actionnariat de l’entreprise de manutention rotterdamoise ECT? Cette perspective est fort plausible car elle résoudrait un problème que lui a posé la Commission européenne en manifestant pour la seconde fois son désaccord avec une nouvelle formule d’actionnariat présentée à la fin de 1999. Les menaces d’amendes étant bien réelles, il faut trouver autre chose.
