"Stop making less sustainable modes more expensive"

Wim van de Camp, who is rapporteur for the implementation of the 2011 Transport White Paper, said this at the annual meeting of the European Inland Ports Association (EFIP), which took place in Antwerp on the occasion of the Inland Terminals Conference. He thus takes a very different position from some of his colleagues who, in a letter to European Transport Commissioner Violeta Bulc, have just asked for road transport to be taxed more heavily according to its CO2 emissions.
