                 Response to the European Commission's mid-term
                      review of 2001 transport White Paper

Intermodal Resource welcomes the European Commission's mid-term review of the
2001 Transport White Paper (the 'Review') which recognises the importance of the
efficient use of different transport systems in isolation or in combination. The
Review outlines the orientation for future EU transport policy in line with
changing circumstances, in order to optimise existing means of transportation.

In the Review published on 22 June 2006 the European Commission notes that a
move from road to rail will not inevitably bring the environmental gains
previously anticipated and that road transport has been successful in
significantly reducing vehicle emissions. As a result of the Review, the
Commission will adopt a logistics action plan in 2007 in order to improve
synergies between road, sea, rail and river, and integrate various transport
modes in logistics chains adopted by corporates. The anticipated improvement in
efficiency is designed to provide industry with a competitive edge at the same
time as further minimising the environmental impact per unit of freight.

Commenting on the publication of the Review, Robert Montague, Chief Executive of
Intermodal Resource said:

'It is extremely encouraging that the White Paper has finally recognised the
importance of road transport to the overall mobility network and the positive
impact it can have on the EU economy.

'I am confident that the move towards a more socially responsible transport
network with the introduction of Euro IV emission standards and the digital
tachograph will be welcomed by all those companies in our industry that take an
accountable attitude towards safety and the safeguarding of the environment.'
