Regulatory Framework in Public Transport 1 PORTAL Studying Regulatory Framework in Public Transport 1 PORTAL Studying Material www.eu-portal.net For the use of the following material: The aim of PORTAL is to accelerate the take up of EU research results in the field of local and regional transport through the development of new education and training courses and teaching materials. The beneficiaries of the project are higher educational institutions. Due to the size and (in some cases) the number of individual projects, it is not possible to explain each single result in detail and include it into these written materials. The following set of material should rather act as a PORTAL and facilitate the access of single projects and detailed results by the lecturers. Therefore the material in hand doesn't lay claim to completeness. Since the expectations of the lecturers regarding these materials are quite diverse - the expectations run the gamut from 'providing a survey of the result of the EU-research to a specific topic' to 'providing special results of a single research-project in detail' -, the attempt has been made to make a compromise and (more or less) come up to the expectations of all user groups. The following compendium contains results of EU research-projects and complementary results of national research-projects. PORTAL thanks the partners and collaborators of the following projects. A complete list of the projects, consortia, and cited literature is given at the end of the material. This material of project results for the topic “Regulatory framework and legislation in public” was compiled by Wilfried Anreiter and Daniel Kampus (both FGM-AMOR; Forschungsgesellschaft Mobilität gemein. GmbH – Austrian Mobility Research) and Malachy Buckeridge (Mendes Ltd.) and Graham Lightfoot (CILTI, The Chartered Institute of Logistics & Transport in Ireland) in 2001 and adapted after a workshop with lecturers in 2002.

  • Civil Law Versus Common Law Concept of Freight Forwarders
    CIVIL LAW VERSUS COMMON LAW CONCEPT OF FREIGHT FORWARDERS Borka Tushevska Ph.D, Faculty of law, University “Goce Delcev” – Shtip [email protected] Abstract Present research paper is focused on the comparative aspects of freight forwarders. Starting this paper with theoretical analysis of the “representation doctrine,” and exploring the status of the freight forwarder in Germany, United Kingdom and United Stated of America, we focused our attention on the liability of the freight forwarders towards the principal and the third party in civil and common law systems. Observing the existing legislation, judicial and arbitration practices, we present the advantages and disadvantages of the two divergent systems of freight forwarders: German legal system versus British and American legal systems/Continental versus Anglo-Saxon legal systems. The main core of this topic is “the concept of representation,” where the place of the freight forwarder is inevitable. We also analyze the justification of Anglo-Saxon model of freight forwarder with accent on the non-vessel operating common carrier (hereafter NVOCCs), as the most sophisticated model of freight forwarder in global frames. This paper also deliberates the legal repercussions of the unsettled status of the freight forwarders vis-à-vis any third person and his principal. Regarding this issue, economic effects have never been subject of discussion. Just a superficial examination of this topic is enough to conclude that each type of representation lead to achieving one objective and it’s

    Fuel Cell Electric Buses An attractive Value Proposition for Zero-Emission Buses In Denmark - April 2020 - Photo: An Attractive Line Bloch Value Klostergaard, Proposition North for Denmark Zero-Emission Region Buses. in Denmark Executive Summary Seeking alternatives to diesel buses are crucial for realizing the Danish zero Zero–Emission Fuel Cell emission reduction agenda in public transport by 2050. In Denmark alone, public transport and road-transport of cargo account for ap- proximately 25 per cent of the Danish CO2 emissions. Thus, the deployment of zero emission fuel cell electric buses (FCEBs) will be an important contribution Electric Buses for Denmark. to the Danish climate law committed to reaching 70 per cent below the CO2 emissions by 2030 and a total carbon neutrality by 2050. In line with the 2050 climate goals, Danish transit agencies and operators are being called to implement ways to improve air quality in their municipalities while maintaining quality of service. This can be achieved with the deployment of FCEBs and without compromising on range, route flexibility and operability. As a result, FCEBs are now also being included as one of the solutions in coming zero emission bus route tenders Denmark. Danish municipalities play an important role in establishing the public transport system of the future, however it is also essential that commercial players join forces to realize the deployment of zero-emission buses. In order to push the de- velopment forward, several leading players in the hydrogen fuel cell value chain have teamed up and formed the H2BusEurope consortium committed to support the FCEB infrastructure.

INTERNATIONAL MARITIME AND TRANSPORT LAW COURSE DUBROVNIK, 7 - 9 September 2020 7 September 2020 Dear colleagues and friends, On behalf of the Croatian Maritime Law Association, we would like to welcome you to the International Maritime and Transport Law Course 2020! Although we might repeat that the year 2020 has been all about COVID-19, let us not develop another discourse about the “New Normal” nor explain how radically this pandemic has changed the way we communicate and indeed the way we live. Naturally, it has also influenced the format of our IUC Course. After we have become aware that a live event would not be possible, we have been experiencing serious dilemmas - from cancelling the 2020 Course entirely to organizing it as a virtual meeting. Finally, we have agreed to prepare a hybrid event as a compromise solution with two co-ordinators, just a few speakers and several attendees from Croatia on-site at the Inter-University Centre in Dubrovnik and with the majority of speakers and participants from Croatia and other countries connected online by video link. We have also decided to 'downsize' the total format of the International Maritime and Transport Law Course from a five-day to a three-day event. However, even as only a shorter version of the originally planned week course we hope that event will be a real maritime and transport law fair.

The old concept of “common carrier” has been maintained through the centuries signifying in principle a strict liability with exception of circumstances beyond control and this principle is still maintained in the international conventions governing carriage by rail, road and air.1 In maritime law, the development has been different as the principle of freedom of contract has prevailed until the advent of the 1924 Brussels Convention on Bills of Lading, the so-called Hague Rules.2 Although that convention requires for its applicability that a bill of lading or a similar document of title has been issued and governs the relationship between the holder of the bill of lading and the issuer, it could with some simplification be said that the convention normally applies in practice where the carrier has held himself out to customers generally thus making his services available to everyone without discrimination.3 If so, he would qualify as a common carrier4 as distinguished from a private carrier where the contract has been selectively made with his contracting party usually through the medium of brokers.

  • The Road from Kyoto
    FTkyoto ok 19/10/00 11:39 Page 1 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY THE ROAD FROM KYOTO Current CO2 and Transport Policies in the IEA gardekyoto ok 19/10/00 11:41 Page 1 INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY THE ROAD FROM KYOTO Current CO2 and Transport Policies in the IEA Foreword FOREWORD Transport accounts for almost a third of total final energy consumption in IEA countries, and 80% of that amount is in the form of road transport. Cars and trucks will be the principal source of carbon dioxide emissions in the foreseeable future. The central role of transport in economic activity and its pervasive influence on every day life make it complex and politically difficult to change. CO2 emissions are just one of many policy concerns, such as safety, urban quality, local air pollution, noise and congestion, that transport raises. Government at many levels — local, regional and national — deals with fuel taxation, urban and regional planning, transport infrastructure investments and public transport. These activities need to be co-ordinated to achieve an effective transport policy in relation to oil security and climate change. “The Road from Kyoto” reviews and offers insights into how governments are grappling with the complexity of transport and CO2 policy making. It examines the transport sector from the perspective of the emissions reduction commitments made under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol. It identifies the components of transport that affect CO2 emissions and details policies that contribute to emissions reduction. It presents detailed accounts of the current and future situation in six IEA countries — Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, as well as the European Union as a whole and the United States.
