ChemMultimodal partners discuss new EU directive

Partners of ChemMultimodal discussed during their 3rd Policy Advisory Group meeting on 7 March 2019 in Brussels the coming EU Combined Transport Directive. The event provided an opportunity to share the learning of the project’s pilot phase with both the Vice President of the European Parliament,  Prof. Bogusław Liberadzki, and the representative of the Romanian Council Presidency,  Raluca Bontea, who is chairing the member states’ work group in the ongoing interinstitutional trialogue. During the pilot phase, ChemMultimodal partners achieved a shift of chemical goods transported on eight routes leading to a reduction of transport-related CO2 emissions of more than 10 per cent.
