La conclusion est que, même dans l’hypothèse d’un “Big Bang” (une ouverture brutale et non progressive) du marché du transport routier aux entreprises de ces pays, les chances d’une dérive du marché sont faibles. C’est en tout cas la position de la Commission européenne. Les transporteurs allemands sont plus nuancés.
