Seen with a local eye ! • Trafic Council is a hearing organ, good and sound co-operation, with the Danish State, as « Good Neighbours » ! • It is sometimes difficult to change elments in the contracts due to :Other operators might have bid under lees demanding circumstances. • The ferry prices are to high comparing to transport on land • Positive that main office of operator is placed on Bornholm=Jobs ! • Need more compettion when tendering OR State Company again ?
