486 ASECAP, the European association of operators of toll road infrastructures is organising a high level conference to analyse the impact of the new European Directive on the award of concession contracts across Europe, focusing specifically on the transport sector.

The conference, whose theme is Concession model, an efficient tool to foster growth across Europe: how to build a level-playing field to attract private investors, will be held on 30 March 2015 from 1030 to 1630 at the European Economic and Social Committee in Brussels.
 
ASECAP recently commissioned a study on the concession model; the study is now complete and ASECAP will present its main findings during the conference. It includes the perspective of toll road operators on the importance of this key tool to ensure consistent and long-term investments in the European transport network.

ASECAP hopes that European Commissioner Bienkowska, together with other representatives of the European Parliament and the 4270 European Investment Bank will attend the conference.
