In 2001, the Commission issued a White Paper setting an agenda for transport policy throughout 2010. Approaching the end of the ten-year period, it is time to look further ahead and define a vision for the future of transport and mobility, preparing the ground for future policy developments.
Commission Vice-President A. Tajani, in charge of European transport policy, is pleased to invite you to a High Level Stakeholders’ Conference to gather your views and those of other experts on the main challenges and opportunities for the transport sector in the very long term (20 to 40 years).
Top managers of transport operators, manufacturers and logistic companies have been invited to contribute their vision alongside policy-makers, academics and representatives of Member States, European institutions and NGOs.
The Conference will be centred on four workshops focusing on urban, freight and passenger transport and on the challenge of sustainable mobility. The workshops will be chaired by former Commission Vice-President and Transport Commissioner, Mr Karel Van Miert, former Director General of DG TREN, Mr Robert Coleman, and the Head of Vice-President Tajani’s Cabinet, Mr Antonio Preto.
The event will take place on 9-10 March 2009 in the "Charlemagne" Building in Brussels (near the Rond-Point Schuman) Alongside the conference there will also be an exhibition on innovative transport technologies with stands and information materials. The event will host around 400 people and is free of charge.
