  • La CE veut revaloriser la profession de chauffeur
    Les ministres européens des Transports aborderont au cours de leur rencontre du 7 décembre à Bruxelles la proposition de directive de la Commission européenne sur la compétence des chauffeurs professionnels dans le transport routier de marchandises et de personnes. Un certain nombre de points importants de cette proposition ont progressé lors de la préparation officielle entre les Etats-membres et la Commission, mais il serait bien hasardeux de prétendre que les ministres arriveront cette fois à un accord. La proposition de la Commission concerne l’obligation d’une formation professionnelle - harmonisée à l’échelle européenne - pour les chauffeurs dans le transport routier (tant de personnes que de marchandises) dans le but d’accroître la sécurité routière et de favoriser une conduite plus respectueuse de l’environnement.
  • CTL suspend son train Paris/Grande-Bretagne

La dernière victime en date de cette situation est la société CTL (Combined Transport Ltd), qui a mis temporairement fin hier à son service entre Paris et le Royaume-Uni.

Une fois la décision de principe prise, il a fallu localiser et aménager les centres de traitement des boues de dragage. Une opération qui a pris pas mal de temps.
  • Le patron de l’AEA fustige l’approche publique dans la crise de l’industrie aérienne européenne
    Karl-Heinz Neumeister, secrétaire-général de l’Association of European Airlines (AEA), est très sceptique quant à l’approche des autorités européennes de la crise actuelle dans le secteur aérien. Il craint même que les traces des attentats du 11 septembre resteront encore longtemps marquées.
