  • L’IRU appelle à un renforcement des règles d’accès à la profession
    Le XXVIIIe Congrès mondial de l’IRU s’est ouvert hier jeudi dans la capitale de la Roumanie, Bucarest. Consacré aux marchés émergents, il met en valeur l’importance cruciale que jouera un transport routier efficace pour l’économie de ces pays. Dans le contexte de la prochaine adhésion des PECO (pays d’Europe centrale et orientale) à l’UE, ce thème est bien sûr d’une grande actualité. Mais c’est encore plus à l’Est que se prépare une nouvelle évolution: le développement d’échanges routiers entre l’Europe et l’Asie, et au sein de ce continent. Il est symbolique dans ce contexte que la Chine, six mois seulement après son adhésion à l’OMC, est devenue membre de l’IRU.

  • DSV enregistre un bénéfice trimestriel de 50,3 mio. de DKK

Cette progression est principalement à mettre sur le compte de la division de transport routier. Entre le fret aérien et maritime il n’y avait pas d’homogénéité et les résultats du département Logistics étaient carrément décevants. La division Environment & Own Production par contre, a répondu aux attentes.
