L’ESPO veut voir la directive portuaire affinée par le Parlement européen “Nous ne sommes pas du tout mécontents du compromis politique atteint par les ministres européens du Transport en ce qui concerne la directive portuaire. Il s’agit d’un pas important dans la bonne direction. Je retiens surtout que les instances portuaires ont gagné en autorité dans le texte adapté et que l’obligation de deux manutentionnaires par catégorie de marchandises a disparue.” C’est ce qu’a déclaré David Whitehead, le président de l’European Sea Ports Organisation à Anvers. Il compte toutefois sur un certain nombre d’adaptations et d’éclaricissements supplémentaires en deuxième lecture au Parlement européen.
France: les immatriculations de véhicules industriels à -13% Pour les cinq premiers mois (janvier/mai) de l’année 2002, les immatriculations de véhicules industriels (plus de 3,5 tonnes) accusent -13% en France, constate l’Observatoire du Véhicule Industriel (OVI, Paris). Par rapport à la même période de 2001, la chute a touché tant les tracteurs que les porteurs, mais à des niveaux différents. Tandis que les premiers ont affiché -20% (avec un creux à -31% en mars), les seconds ont mieux résisté avec -6%. Les résultats du mois de juin étant seulement provisoires, on ne peut pas avancer un chiffre définitif pour l’ensemble du premier semestre. Néanmoins, les extrapolations permettent d’estimer que les six premiers mois de 2002 se solderont par –12%. Cela, avec un total de 28.100 immatriculations, dont 14.720 porteurs et 13.380 tracteurs.

Trève dans le conflit des ports de la côte ouest des Etats-Unis Bien que l’ancienne CCT entre les patrons et les ouvriers portuaires pour tous les ports de la côte ouest des Etats-Unis est venue à terme cette semaine sans qu’une nouvelle CCT est entrée en vigueur (voir éditions précédentes du LL), il semble que les annonces d’interruptions de travail se font encore attendre. Les négociations sur une nouvelle CCT sont poursuivies sous pression politique.
