    Pour les entreprises de manutention anversoises Hessenatie et Noord Natie, appelées on le sait à fusionner, les jours qui suivent sont assez cruciaux en ce sens que le moment de prendre une décision se précise, à savoir soit signer un accord avec le groupe PSA de Singapour, qui deviendrait ainsi le fameux partenaire stratégique majoritaire de la HesseNoord Natie... où suivre une autre voie, celle qu’à reproposée en dernière minute le candidat financier Candover.
  • La SNCF supporte moins d’un tiers du coût réel des infrastructures
    Même sans inclure les frais financiers (emprunts et dette) désormais supportés par RFF, la contribution de la SNCF représente moins de la moitié du coût réel des infrastructures qu’elle utilise. Si l’on prend les frais financiers en compte, la SNCF supporte moins d’un tiers du coût réel des infrastructures. Cela tient au fait que le système français repose sur le coût marginal social et non sur le coût réel comme c’est le cas par exemple en Allemagne. Néanmoins, Louis Gallois, président de la SNCF n’est pas satisfait.

    Au cours du débat de mercredi au Parlement européen à Strasbourg sur la tarification de l’infrastructure, Paolo Costa (fraction libérale) a plaidé au nom de la commission des transports du Parlement pour que les coûts de l’infrastructure de transport soient pris en charge par tous les utilisateurs. L’objectif de cette initiative est de poser les fondements d’un système de taxes et tarifs basé sur le principe d’équitabilité, à savoir que l’utilisateur paie, un principe approuvé par une large majorité du Parlement. Costa estime toutefois qu’un tel système général doit être basé aussi précisément que possible sur les estimations des coûts.
