    Au Havre, les travaux de construction des nouveaux terminaux à containers à marée, prévus dans le cadre du projet “Port 2000” se poursuivent activement. En 2003, quatre premiers postes à quai de 350 m seront prêts, ainsi qu’une grande partie de la digue protectrice. Jusqu’à présent, sur la dizaine de candidats qui se sont présentés trois dossiers avaient été retenus. Un quatrième vient de s’y ajouter; celui de Hutchison Westport Ltd, qui fait l’objet d’une étude approfondie de la part de la direction du Port autonome, qui vient par ailleurs d’écarter un certain nombre de candidatures.
  • Le conseil d’administration d’ABX Logistics Belgium a été désigné

La France tient en effet à respecter ses engagements vis-à-vis de l’Italie. Rome, de fait, voit son économie souffrir gravement des problèmes de transit alpin. Le gouvernement italien a d’ailleurs accentué sa pression sur la Suisse pour que la situation au tunnel du Gothard s’améliore.
