En effet, entre janvier et juin dernier, ce terminal a traité 806.690 TEU, soit 111.000 TEU de plus par rapport à la période correspondante de l’année précédente.

L’Autriche est donc une nouvelle fois rappelée à l’ordre parce que les données relatives à l’an dernier ne correspondent pas à la réalité. La Commission a donc décidé de redistribuer les écopoints restants pour cette année.
