🚛 High Level Conference on Road Control in Brussels 📅 Brussels, February 23, 2024 - A pivotal conference dedicated to the future of road transport is currently underway, drawing together experts, policymakers, and industry representatives to deliberate on the latest developmental trends, the biggest challenges, and the opportunities presently facing the transport sector. 📢 The event, named "Towards a Fair Transport Sector in Europe: Challenges and Perspectives", features the attendance of the Chief Inspector of Road Transport, Mr. Artur Czapiewski. This significant event unfolds in the context of Belgium's presidency of the Council of the European Union. 🔍 This meeting provides an excellent forum to discuss key issues related to the practical aspects of road inspections. Topics include experiences with DSRC technology, insights from the TRACE II project, and the development of the transport sector. Moreover, the conference serves as a unique platform for the exchange of views and experiences among representatives from different countries and organizations. One of the important issues discussed in the corridors is the effects of the Agreement between the European Union and Ukraine on road transport, particularly its impact on the road transport sector. This event is poised to contribute significantly to advancing the process of finding solutions to some of the contemporary challenges facing road transport, from technological advancements to social and regulatory challenges. #RoadTransport #TransportInspection #EuropeanUnion #TransportSectorChallenges #InnovationInTransport #ITD #internationalcooperation #BEpresidency #BEUE

After almost three years since its first draft, the new Regulation for the trans-European transport network (TEN-T) will enter into force on Thursday 18 July 2024. Once it enters into force, the new Regulation will provide EU member states with the guidelines to create a harmonised intermodal network throughout the Old Continent. The new network includes nine corridors: Atlantic, North Sea-Rhine-Mediterranean, North Sea-Baltic, Scandinavian-Mediterranean, Baltic-Adriatic, Rhine-Danube, Mediterranean, Western Balkans, Baltic-Black-Aegean Seas. Initially, the corridors were 10. However, the Rhine-Alpine and the North Sea-Mediterranean corridors were merged to form the North Sea-Rhine-Mediterranean corridor, an initiative that still leaves a few questions unanswered. #tent #intermodal #transportcorridors #transport #europeanunion
