2014

FPS Mobility and Transport - in collaboration with the transport ministers of the Netherlands, Germany, France, the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg, Italy and Switzerland on the one side and the infrastructure managers and railway capacity allocation bodies of these countries on the other, organised a conference at Oude Vismijn in Ghent on 20 March 2014 to inaugurate the opening of the European rail freight corridors n°1 and n°2. These corridors, also called respectively Rhine-Alpine and North Sea-Mediterranean, facilitate the organisation of traffic and allow easier interconnection by rail of the most important European logistical and industrial hubs.
