Deutsche Post: la décision de la Commission aura des répercussions importantes Ainsi qu’annoncé dans notre édition d’hier, la Commission européenne a décidé que Deutsche Post devra rembourser 72 millions d’EUR en aides d’Etat au gouvernement. La Commission estime que la poste allemande a utilisé ces aides pour subsidier ses activités commerciales et en particulier ses services de colis (voir le texte intégral du communiqué de la Commission dans nos pages anglaises). UPS, qui avait déposé plainte en 1994, obtient ainsi gain de cause, et l’opérateur américain ne cache pas sa satisfaction dans un communiqué. Deutsche Post a annoncé aller en appel devant la Cour européenne de Justice, mais quel que soit le résultat de cet appel, il est d’ores et déjà manifeste que la décision de la Commission aura des répercussions importantes pour les entreprises contrôlées par l’Etat actives dans des secteurs libéralisés.

L. Delwaide: ”Anvers est opposé à toute centralisation des ports flamands” “Nous enregistrons au sein de l’administration flamande une certaine tendance à la centralisation des ports flamands, tendance à laquelle nous sommes fermement opposés. Il ne faut tout de même pas oublier que les ports dans notre région sont devenus grands grâce à leur tradition hanséatique. C’est la concurrence qui a forgé ces ports. Dans le cas d’Anvers, la communauté locale a toujours été étroitement liée au port, de même que le conseil communal, et cela parce qu’il s’agit d’une affaire anversoise. Aussi, nous n’acceptons pas que des fonctionnaires se permettent de faire des déclarations concernant nos affaires, concernant notre modèle concurrentiel.” C’est ce qu’a déclaré l’échevin du port Leo Delwaide, président de l’Entreprise portuaire autonome anversoise, à l’occasion de l’assemblée générale du conseil de concertation du port.
