The following people also took part in the discussion:

Gerd Deimel – Spokesman of VCI-Initiative transport infrastructure

The result of the discussions relating to transport companies problems and the financing of European infrastructure projects is that in the future an increase is expected in e-commerce and the logistics associated with that, as well as in “contact logistics”. A possible decrease in air fright and an ongoing development in sea freigt it to be expected. We benefited from the discussions in that we became better informed about the procurement needs of companies working in the field of transport and logistics, whilst also succeeding in gaining new contacts.
