BRIDGE
THE LONGER TERM
CALAIS PORT 2015

Such development will increase interoperability and will help to promote and optimise the interconnection between different modes of transport – road, rail, short sea shipping – whilst minimising the impact on the environment and promoting competition and trade within the EU.
