  • CFE Annual Report
    Annual Report 2009 129 th corporate financial year Proud of their many realisations, the teams of the CFE group are pleased to present the activity report for the year 2009. Compagnie d’Entreprises CFE SA Founded in Brussels on June 21, 1880 Headquarters: 42, avenue Herrmann-Debroux, 1160 Brussels – Belgium Company number 0400.464.795 RPM Brussels Telephone: +32 2 661 12 11 Fax: +32 2 660 77 10 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: http://www.cfe.be 1 Edito As expected, the CFE group’s 2009 revenue and profit came in below those of the previous year, when it achieved its best-ever perform- ance. However, the decline in revenue (€ -125 million), operating profit (€ -19.3 million) and net after-tax profit (€ -8.2 million) was modest against the backdrop of the global economic crisis. All divisions made a positive contribution to profit. DEME deserves special recognition for again demonstrating its ability to strengthen its position in the international dredging market, fully vindicating the substantial investments made in recent years to modernise its fleet. CFE has many strengths that enable it to weather the economic crisis and move confidently into 2010. The order book, standing at € 2,024 million, is satisfactory, although construction activity is likely to decline from the 2009 level. We intend to resist the temptation to take orders at any price, concentrating instead on profit. To do this, our recent international expansion, especially in Tunisia, holds out good prospects for repositioning our activity. CFE’s broad diversity of business lines and geographical locations is an additional asset, as is our sound financial position, which shields us from liquidity problems.

  • 1 Railways and Tourism in Belgium, 1835
    Railways and Tourism in Belgium, 1835 – 1870 Paul Van Heesvelde (History and Heritage Consultancy) Abstract ‘If Belgium is only to be visited, or indeed if the trip is to be limited to the Rhenish provinces, I strongly advise the traveller to leave his carriage behind him. The railroads and steam boats are so invariably adopted in these countries, that a vehicle of this kind is not only troublesome, but very expensive.’ H.R. Addison opens in the very beginning of his travel guide of 1843 with an eye opener for the 21st century tourist. Moreover, he stresses the importance of the picturesque landscape. The opening of the railway network in 1835 in Belgium seems to create two different patterns of tourism. The first pattern seems to be an adept of the Romantic Movement and pays attention to the picturesque landscape. A series of descriptions of the railway lines integrating landscape and civil engineering constructions along the line are published, together with travel guides for the early adaptors. A second movement consists in the development of the littoral tourism in which two key elements played a role: the presence of the royal family in Ostend and the railway lines from Brussels to the coast (heavy rail) and tramway along the coast. On the other hand, the railway network created a possibility for overseas travellers to reach the borders of the Rhine in a more comfortable way with a faster transport mode. Together with the editing of the travel guide for Belgium and the Rhine, the Belgian State Railways edit the first railway publicity poster announcing the special fare for travellers visiting the Rhine (1856).
