The MOT at the ITEM annual conference on mobility and infrastructure
December 2023
MOT General Director, Jean Peyrony, spoke at ITEM's annual conference in The Hague on November 17, 2023.
This annual conference focused on mobility and infrastructure and the question of the extent to which transnational and cross-border objectives and approaches can go hand in hand. "Cross-border transport corridors are often characterised by their transnational nature, train connections, inland waterways and port connections through a corridor across Europe. But too often the focus is on the national agenda, not always to the benefit of the border region, while even within those corridors you encounter the border." The conference highlighted that "make use of cross-border governance structures and deploy instruments, only then can you make transnational tasks and cross-border cooperation go hand in hand and come to reinforcement".
