La Commission européenne se trompe depuis des
années : amalgame entre cabotage et détachement;
•
Cabotage = véhicule, chargement
•
Détachement = chauffeur

Livre Blanc sur les transports : augmentation du
transport routier
• Dumping social :
exemple belge, 1er janvier 2009 – 1er janvier 2014 :
- 610 entreprises de transport ont disparu !
- 6.012 véhicules moteurs ont disparu des régistres de
la DIV !
- 6.523 emplois “équivalents temps plein” ont disparu !
Un grand patron belge du transport a déclaré : “ce ne sont
pas les postes de travail qui ont disparu, mais les emplois
belges”.
