À l’occasion du salon Autonomy & the Urban Mobility Summit, l’Institut Montaigne, partenaire de l’événement, recevait Eudoxe Denis, directeur des affaires publiques de Plastic Omnium et Rémi Cornubert, partner du cabinet AT Kearney pour débattre du thème “Quelle place pour la voiture demain ?”. Eudoxe Denis et Rémi Cornubert, rapporteurs généraux du groupe de travail de l’Institut Montaigne sur l’avenir de l’automobile, sont revenus sur les messages clés du rapport et sur les grandes actualités liées à la mobilité.
Retrouvez les trois points à retenir de ces échanges :
Stop aux idées reçues !Gare aux prédictions hâtives ! La fin de la voiture, quoi qu’en disent certains commentateurs, n’est pas pour demain. Aujourd’hui, un Français sur deux utilise sa voiture quotidiennement et 99 % des détenteurs de véhicules ne souhaitent pas s’en séparer dans les deux ans à venir. Les jeunes, souvent accusés de délaisser l’automobile, sont en grande majorité détenteurs du permis de conduire (84 % d’après un sondage Kantar-Institut Montaigne). Difficile dès lors de tirer un trait sur la voiture individuelle, qui reste synonyme de plaisir et de confort pour un grand nombre de Français.
Gare au parisiano-centrismeSi la tendance est à l’augmentation de la population urbaine, il n’en demeure pas moins que 81 % des Français vivent hors de Paris (grande couronne). Il ne faut donc pas généraliser les pratiques des grandes métropoles à l’ensemble du territoire. Si, dans les grandes villes, on observe un déploiement des nouvelles formes de mobilité, ces comportements restent globalement marginaux. Seulement 2 % des Français utilisent une nouvelle forme de mobilité au quotidien, et 43 % des sondés n’ont pas d’alternative à la voiture individuelle (!).
La nouvelle technologie au service de l’incitationPourquoi limiter l’usage des nouvelles technologies à l’habitacle de la voiture ? Plus efficaces que les mesures coercitives, les mesures incitatives doivent être au coeur des politiques publiques de mobilité. Elles sont rendues possibles par les nouvelles technologies aujourd’hui intégrées aux véhicules, faisant remonter un grand nombre de données utiles à la compréhension des habitudes de mobilité. Il serait ainsi possible d’imaginer un système de micro-péage urbain, intelligent, adaptant son prix en fonction d’un certain nombre de critères : type de véhicule, nombre de passager, état du trafic, zone de circulation…

Ouvert NonIdén 25 milliárd forint, jövőre 50 milliárd forint értékben hirdet meg forrásokat a kormány a kevésbé fejlett Pest megyei települések számára, ami a tavaly lekötött 5 milliárd forinttal együtt 80 milliárd forint állami támogatást jelent - mondta Rákossy Balázs, az európai uniós források felhasználásáért felelős államtitkár csütörtöki sajtótájékoztatóján Budapesten.
Az Emberi Erőforrás Fejlesztési Operatív Program Veszprém megyei fejlesztései pillanatnyilag megközelítik a 28 milliárd forintot, de a pályázatok folyamatos elbírásával ez a szám még emelkedik a jövőben – mondta Schanda Tamás európai uniós fejlesztéspolitikáért felelős államtitkár a veszprémi sajtótájékoztatóján.

This week, the latest EU summit – which is another name given to the meeting up of all EU heads of state at the European Council – will take place in Brussels for two days, until Friday the 20th October. This summit takes place amid a difficult setting for the European Union, which faces critics about its handling of the Catalonian crisis and is still negotiating the exit of the UK from the Union. Nonetheless, it seems that hope remains among European leaders for a brighter future for Europe, as Donald Tusk, the President of the Council, decided to give Emmanuel Macron’s ideas a chance to bring the remaining EU member states closer together.
The 39-year-old French President whose ideas include several provisions, going from a tighter military cooperation to tougher anti-dumping rules, will therefore be at the centre of this summit. However, as some political turmoil occurred in France these past weeks over Macron’s reforms on the French labour code, several EU officials did not hide their concerns on his capacity to successfully take care of his European duties. This summit thus appears to be a challenge for the French President, but also for the President of the European Council Donald Tusk, who has never shied away from supporting Macron and his views on the EU.
In addition, before the summit, the French President stressed his wish to discuss again the trade talks which involved the EU with the US and the EU and Canada – respectively the TAFTA and CETA deals – as well as the future negotiations Brussels wants to achieve with Mercosur countries. Indeed, Emmanuel Macron would like to make his case and show his concerns that these free trade agreements could harm European citizens in terms of job losses, environmental regulations and heath. Thereby, there should be very lively debates around the European Council’s negotiation table during this two-days EU summit.
Even though Donald Tusk specifically chose to give Mr. Macron a pivotal role during these talks, the most pressing issues the EU is currently facing should not be forgotten by EU head of states and governments. In fact, the Brexit negotiations have never felt closer to failing, as EU Brexit head negotiator Michel Barnier stated last week that there had been no great steps forward achieved in the talks with the UK. Finally, the Catalonian independence referendum should also be at the centre of the EU summit, as the Spanish government just triggered article 155 of its constitution, which would allow it to take control back on the autonomous province. The conclusions of the summit should be given out sometime next week, and should help clear the EU positioning on a lot of these urgent issues.

The Council today reinforced EU passenger ship safety by adopting three directives which revise passenger ship safety rules and standards, digitalise the registration of ship passengers and create a clear framework for the inspection of ro-ro ferries and high-speed passenger craft. An informal agreement with the European Parliament on these proposals was reached in June this year.
"These new rules will improve the safety of people travelling on our seas. But they will also simplify and speed up procedures for shipping companies, including through digitalisation, and this is good news for businesses and our economy as a whole," said Kadri Simson, the Estonian Minister of Economic Affairs and Infrastructure. "I would like to thank the Maltese presidency and the European Parliament for all their work on these files."
The 'general' directive on passenger ship safety rules and standards contains the most extensive rules on passenger ship safety in the EU, applicable to vessels travelling on domestic routes. The text sets out detailed technical requirements for ships with regard to areas such as construction, stability and fire protection.
The directive on the registration of persons on board passenger ships requires shipping companies to digitalise the registration of ship passengers, so that the exact number of passengers and other information will be immediately available for search and rescue services in the event of an accident.
The third directive - a revised inspection regime for ro-ro ferries and high-speed passenger craft - eliminates overlaps and closes regulatory gaps arising from the application by member states of different inspection regimes for these vessels.
The three directives are part of a comprehensive review of passenger ship safety which aims to improve the safety of sea travel while simplifying the current rules and cutting administrative costs.
Today's final vote by the Council concludes the procedure at first reading for all three dossiers. The European Parliament voted on 4 October 2017. The legal acts will be signed by both institutions in November and published in the EU Official Journal a few weeks later. They will enter into force 20 days after publication, and member states will then have two years to incorporate the new rules into their national law.
