Fourth 'Clever Commuting' European Mobility Week

Brussels, 09/09/2005 (Agence Europe) - Millions of citizens in over 930 towns and cities across Europe and in other parts of the world will be taking part in sustainable transport initiatives as part of the annual European Mobility Week, which runs this year from 16 to 22 September on the theme of 'Clever Commuting.' European Mobility Week, now in its fourth year, seeks to promote a lasting shift towards use of environmentally benign modes of transport and to encourage citizens to consider alternatives to private cars wherever possible. European Mobility Week 2005 will be launched on 16 September at a high-level conference at London's City Hall, organised with the UK Presidency of the EU, which will bring together representatives of all levels of government to share their visions for urban mobility and clean air. Both Commission Vice-President and Commissioner for Transport Jacques Barrot and Environment Commissioner Stavros Dimas will be participating. At a ceremony during the conference, Commissioner Dimas will announce the winner of the European Mobility Week Award for initiatives taken by towns and cities last year. The three finalists are Kromeriz in the Czech Republic, Nantes in France and Donostia-San Sebastián in Spain. Info: http: //http://www.mobilityweek-europe.org/index.php?lang=en
