La Commission modifie son projet de directive sur la libéralisation des services portuaires Au cours de la concertation avec les experts des quinze Etats membres, la Commission européenne a modifié hier son projet de directive concernant la libéralisation des services portuaires, qui avait suscité de sérieuses objections de la part de différents pays, dont la Belgique.

P&O Ports propose le “terminal operator haulage” Comment intégrer les terminaux à containers maritimes aux concepts de la logistique intermodale intéressant l’hinterland? Ce thème a été longuement abordé lors d’une session de la manifestation TOC, qui se déroule actuellement à Anvers. Ce fut d’ailleurs l’occasion pour P&O Ports, par l’entremise de E. Noteman, directeur des opérations containers, qui remplaçait Roger Roels Managing director, de présenter la nouvelle philosophie opérationnelle de l’entreprise dans son contexte nord-européen. Ladite philosophie consiste en fait à intégrer l’exploitation opérationnelle des terminaux maritimes que P&0 Ports exploite à Anvers à celle de son nouveau terminal trimodal de Duisbourg sur le Rhin.

“Doubler les amendes pour les illégaux ne changera rien” Les plans du gouvernement britannique visant à doubler les amendes prélevées pour chaque clandestin trouvé à bord des camions arrivant au RU ne serviront à rien. C’est ce qu’affirme la Freight Transport Association britannique. Selon cette association, le système actuel, en vigueur depuis avril 2000, ne peut endiguer le flux de réfugiés et une augmentation des amendes, de 2.000 à 4.000 GBP, n’y changera rien. La FTA déplore que le gouvernement et sa politique discriminatoire continue de considérer les opérateurs de transport routier internationaux comme la cause du problème, alors qu’ils en sont la victime.
