  • Verhofstadt demande à l’UPTR d’expliciter ses exigences
    La réunion entre le Premier ministre et l’UPTR, hier mardi matin, n’a donné aucun résultat concret... entre autres parce que le chef du gouvernement n’a pas reçu lui-même la délégation, se faisant représenter par son chef de cabinet adjoint Yvan Pittevils (chargé des dossiers “fiscalité” et “mobilité”), ainsi que par un responsable du ministère des Finances. “Ils nous ont demandé d’expliciter nos sept dossiers au cours d’une prochaine réunion avec des techniciens, qui feront rapport au Premier ministre, qui devrait alors nous répondre”, nous a déclaré Jean Claude Schmit, un des nouveaux membres très actifs au sein de l’union. Et d’ajouter: “On nous fait subir le parcours du combattant, et on n’arrivera pas éternellement à calmer la base”.
  • Risque de nouvelles actions dans le transport routier au Royaume-Uni
    Le Conseil européen des Ministres des Finances a approuvé lundi soir une décision accordant à quatre Etats-membres le droit de réduire pour une période de deux ans supplémentaires les accises sur les carburants utilisées “pour certaines applications spécifiques”, lisez pour le transport routier. Ces quatre pays sont l’Italie, la France, les Pays-Bas et, apparemment, l’Allemagne. Cette décision devrait provoquer de nouvelles actions des transporteurs au Royaume-Uni.
  • Ziegler signe un accord de collaboration avec BDP International
    Le groupe Ziegler vient de conclure un accord de coopération stratégique avec le groupe logistique américain BDP International. Cet accord porte sur les activités de fret maritime et aérien en France et en Belgique et sur les activités de fret maritime aux Pays-Bas. Etant donné que BDP possède déjà un réseau dans ces pays, l’entreprise a naturellement mis un terme à ses contrats avec les agents dans ces pays. Ainsi à Anvers, l’expéditeur de fret aérien Freight Solutions et l’expéditeur de fret maritime Navex & Van Meerbeeck ne sont plus partenaires de BDP depuis avant-hier.
  • Le marché allemand du colis à l’aube d’un ralentissement sévère de la croissance
    Le marché allemand du transport de colis ne connaîtra qu’une croissance moyenne durant les prochaines années. Une des raisons est que les volumes de trafic supplémentaires générés par les activités de commerce électronique seront considérablement inférieurs à ce qui avait été annoncé jusqu’ici. C’est ce qu’a exposé Peter Klaus, professeur à l’université de Erlangen-Nuremberg au cours d’une récente conférence sur le transport de colis et la distribution de courrier.
