Telle est l’essence du préambule d’accord signé lundi entre le ministre flamand des Travaux publics, Steve Stevaert, et sa collègue néerlandaise responsable des Transports, Tineke Netelenbos, au sujet d’un renforcement et une amélioration de leur collaboration dans la région de l’Escaut.
  • Marseille regagne des trafics face aux concurrents du Nord
    Pour le Port autonome de Marseille (PAM), l’exercice 2000 aura été un très bon cru. “Une année exceptionnelle notamment en marchandises diverses”, souligne le nouveau président Jacques Truau. Ce résultat a été obtenu notamment en regagnant des parts de marché sur les ports du nord de l’Europe. Parallèlement, les résultats financiers s’avèrent bons pour la deuxième année consécutive et il y a une forte relance des investissements. L’avenir aussi est considéré comme se présentant sous de bons auspices, en particulier grâce à des lignes récemment gagnées sur des ports concurrents du sud de l’Europe. Enfin, les critiques exprimées par le syndicat CFDT sont estimées sans portée réelle compte tenu du peu de représentativité des intéressés.

Fondée en mai 1960 à l’initiative de Zim Israel Navigation Cy, l’entreprise a suivi jusqu’à ce jour toutes les évolutions de cet armement, tant sur les plans opérationnel que technique. On peut donc comprendre que son quarantième anniversaire ait donné lieu à une manifestation particulière qui fut l’occasion vendredi dernier pour la direction d’évoquer certains aspects de cette évolution mais aussi d’informer la clientèle des perspectives.

Vu l’importance des infractions, la Commission prépare une procédure contre les deux compagnies devant la Cour de Justice européenne et menace de sanctions.
