Presentation for EP Transport Committee
22/11/2011 - On the 22nd of November Huib van Essen gave a presentation for the Transport Committee of the European Parliament. He presented the results of a study on the impacts of pricing policy for freight transport on the road, rail and inland waterways in the Paris-Amsterdam corridor. The study was carried out in the context of the development of the Seine-Scheldt connection, one of the large EU TEN-T infrastructure projects. This study is unique as it is the first in-depth analysis of the impacts of internalisation of external cost scenarios on a specific strategic and congested international freight corridor in the EU. It has been conducted at an international and multimodal level. Therefore the results are of high interest for the study area but also for freight transport policy in Europe in general. The final deliverables of this study are available in English and in Dutch and can be asked for at ce@ce.nl.
