  • Signature de la Convention entre HNN et SAVA/FEBETRA
    En raison des problèmes qui ont surgi sur un certain nombre de terminaux à containers suite à la forte hausse du trafic des derniers mois, une convention a été signée hier jeudi dans les locaux anversois de l’AGHA, l’organisation coupole du secteur privé d’Anvers. Les transporteurs routiers (et armateurs fluviaux) se plaignaient des temps d’attente trop longs, plus particulièrement sur le Noordzeeterminal de Hesse Noord Natie. La convention garantit un délai de transit moyen pour le transport routier de containers sur les terminaux de HNN. L’AGHA fera le cas échéant fonction d’arbitre. Une commission technique se chargera de la mise en oeuvre de nouvelles améliorations.
  • “L’harmonisation de la taxe sur le diesel constitue une énième augmentation des coûts”
    La proposition de la Commission européenne visant à harmoniser complètement la taxe sur le diesel d’ici 2010 en introduisant une même taxe de 410 EUR par 1000 l pour les véhicules de plus de 16t déclenche tant des réactions positives que négatives. Les secondes viennent des associations de transporteurs belges et néerlandais. Les transporteurs français applaudissent quant à eux la proposition. Tous les autres Etats-membres ne sont pas non plus aussi heureux de cette mesure. Pour dix pays des Quinze, cela se traduira par une hausse des prix. D’autre part, l’Allemagne et surtout le RU voient disparaître une grande partie de leurs recettes générées par la taxe sur le diesel parce qu’ils doivent réduire leurs accises.
  • La Commission Portuaire Flamande veut réagir de manière pro-active à la politique de l’UE

La CPF va en conséquence procéder à une étude sur l’impact de la politique européenne sur les ports flamands. Winkelmans se préoccupe également de l’image négative que colportent les ports dans l’opinion publique. Il estime par contre que la coopération entre ports s’annonce prometteuse.
  • Containers et sécurité: l’UE va-t-elle faire annuler les accords bilatér aux avec les USA?
    Le fait que trois membres de l’UE, à savoir les Pays-Bas, la Belgique et la France... l’Allemagne suivrait dans les prochains jours... aient signé des accords bilatéraux avec les USA portant sur la sécurité des trafics containérisés qui leur sont destinés, a provoqué de sérieuses objections de la part de la CE. Cet accord avec les douanes américaines implique la présence de quelques-uns de ses représentants dans les ports européens de ces Etats-membres qui traitent ces trafics, à savoir Rotterdam, Anvers et Le Havre pour l’instant. Il s’agit là d’un des aspects qui motive l’irritation de ladite CE, un autre étant celui de la signature d’accords bilatéraux. Bruxelles passe maintenant à l’action.
