This is due not only to the debate regarding asylum, but also the inept actions of politicians in Brussels and the European states. Instead of drawing up proactive, future-oriented solutions, a reactive approach is taken and solutions presented that represent a backwards step to accommodate the mainstream.<br>\nIn the digital age realities are more and more complex, which gives rise to fears for the future in many people. However, building border fences and carrying out border checks is no solution. According to a study conducted by the Bertelsmann Foundation, the economic damage of such measures for Germany alone is estimated to reach a figure in the double-digit billion region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, even more significant than the monetary loss is the fact that the unity and freedom in Europe that our fathers and grandfathers fought to achieve in the last 100 years is being casually put at risk.<br>\nThis achievement of the European family with its diverse facets is unique of its kind in the world. We cannot allow the field of public opinion to be left to the supporters of national borders in Germany and other European states. These parties stoke the nebulous fears of the population and offer black and white solutions that do not exist. These simplified solutions no longer work &#8211; especially in a globally linked Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We in Europe believe in progress and a society of cultural diversity \u2013 this enriches us, and should also characterise us in the future.<br>\nNot for nothing is our slogan &#8220;We in Europe&#8221; \u2013 and the statement is not merely an operative one. It is time for the people of the VTL network to declare themselves citizens of Europe, and stand up for this social form. And that we take a clear stand against the drawing of borders and nationalist ideas. We cannot allow our ambivalence to give a majority to the populists.<br>\nWe stand for open borders. They are the foundation for a free, strong Europe, and this is the quality of life to which we aspire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/AJ-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"AJ\" class=\"wp-image-2997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/AJ-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/AJ-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/AJ-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/AJ.jpg 654w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Andreas J\u00e4schke<br>\nManaging Director<br>\nVTL Vernetzte-Transport-Logistik GmbH<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">New members of the Cargo Family<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Karte-mit-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"Karte mit Logo\" class=\"wp-image-2983\" width=\"317\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Karte-mit-Logo.jpg 422w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Karte-mit-Logo-280x300.jpg 280w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Karte-mit-Logo-373x400.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Karte-mit-Logo-400x428.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 317px) 100vw, 317px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/INSAtransport_Logo_JPEG_klein-300x56.jpg\" alt=\"INSAtransport_Logo_JPEG_klein\" class=\"wp-image-2986\" width=\"225\" height=\"42\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/INSAtransport_Logo_JPEG_klein-300x56.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/INSAtransport_Logo_JPEG_klein-768x144.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/INSAtransport_Logo_JPEG_klein-400x75.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/INSAtransport_Logo_JPEG_klein-600x113.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/INSAtransport_Logo_JPEG_klein-800x150.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/INSAtransport_Logo_JPEG_klein.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Depot 04603<br>\n<strong>INSATRANSPORT Speditions GmbH<\/strong><br>\nGwinnerstr. 7-9<br>\nDE-60388 Frankfurt am Main<br>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.insatransport.de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.insatransport.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/JET-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"JET Logo\" class=\"wp-image-2988\" width=\"285\" height=\"46\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Depot 17151<br>\n<strong>Jet Transport<\/strong><br>\nNijverheidslaan 1515<br>\nBE-3660 Opglabbeek<br>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.jetlogistics.eu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.jetlogistics.eu<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/emons-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"emons Logo\" class=\"wp-image-2990\" width=\"158\" height=\"68\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Depot 04665<br>\n<strong>Emons<\/strong><br>\nIn der Kolling 4<br>\nDE-66450 Bexbach<br>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.emons.de\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.emons.de<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">Delamode Baltics celebrates tenth anniversary<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<p>Managing Director Justas Versnickas can look back upon the first decade with pride.

After six months at VTL he sums up: the expansion of the hall space in 2015 to a total of 9,000 square metres with 115 gates has been a major help in the handling process. Similarly helpful is the innovative equipment with LED lighting and innovative IT: a calibrated measuring facility with scales is set into the hall floor, using lasers to record length, width and height and sending the resultant data directly to the cross-partner communications platform myVTL. In addition, the built-in video unit with a modern, efficient search system enables precise location within the hall, thus increasing transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">Trainees at VTL<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<p><strong>VTL at the education fair in Fulda\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total of 6 trainees have joined trainer Kristina Wassermann in preparing for participation in the Fulda Education Fair.

The trainees used a model that they had made themselves to address these questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-1-1.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3027\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-1-1-300x165.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"247\" height=\"136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-1-1-300x165.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-1-1-768x423.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-1-1-400x220.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-1-1-600x331.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-1-1-800x441.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-1-1.jpg 996w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 247px) 100vw, 247px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-4.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-4-300x221.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"178\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-4-300x221.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-4-400x295.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-4-600x442.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-4.jpg 665w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-3.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-3-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-3-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-3-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-3.jpg 658w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><a class=\"lightbox\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-2-e1466585613721.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-3021\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-2-e1466585613721-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"213\" height=\"284\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-2-e1466585613721-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-2-e1466585613721-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-2-e1466585613721-400x533.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Messe-2-e1466585613721.jpg 402w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 213px) 100vw, 213px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>(Picture: VTL Vernetzte-Transport-Logistik GmbH)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VTL Vernetzte-Transport-Logistik was using this platform for the first time to encourage young people to pursue a career in logistics. &#8220;As a training company, we aim to provide young people with a well-founded and practice-oriented start in their working life \u2013 and of course secure new talent for the CargoFamily,&#8221; said Managing Director Andreas J\u00e4schke. At the eastern Hesse education fair VTL therefore gave pupils, parents and teachers a glimpse behind the scenes of grouped cargo co-operation. Particular interest was paid to the reports of the current trainees. Attention was also addressed to the opportunity to gather international work experience in the scope of the trainee exchange offered by VTL. &#8220;We had many discussions and made many interesting contacts,&#8221; said trainer Kristina Wassermann.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Especially for VTL trainees\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To enable pupils to get a good, comprehensive picture of VTL the VTL website was expanded to include two further areas: &#8220;Trainees on VTL&#8221; \u2013 which published answers to the question &#8220;What do you like about the apprenticeship at VTL&#8221;. The second area, &#8220;VTL for trainees&#8221;, aims to provide pupils with an overview of opportunities to participate in various programmes, activities and events during their training at VTL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since 2015 VTL has used an introductory week to help new trainees acclimatise to the company. During this week they receive basic training, for example on the myVTL platform, the VTL handbook, or the basics of the office programmes, helping them quickly find their feet. In addition, they can also take part in an after-work event to get to know the new colleagues.<br>\nIndividual support, extra tuition options and regular feedback and performance discussions help the trainees throughout the course of their apprenticeship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Azubi Gruppenbild\" class=\"wp-image-3032\" width=\"448\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1-600x399.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1-1000x666.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.vtl.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Azubi-Gruppenbild-1.jpg 1412w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><figcaption>(Picture: Jennifer Trapp, Fabienne Gaschler, Daniel Stederoth, Hakan Y\u00fccel, Lea Wagner, Kateryna Wilfer, VTL Vernetzte-Transport-Logistik)  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">Strategic alliance proves its worth - ILN, S.T.a.R. und VTL<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<p>The three grouped cargo co-operations ILN, S.t.a.R. and VTL agreed strategic co-operation in early 2015. It has now become apparent just how valuable this alliance is: as of 1 September 2016 ILN and S.T.a.R. will be available for handling the consignments of the southern hub participants, as the VTL HUB South is set to close on 31 August 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andreas J\u00e4schke, Managing Director of VTL, on the reasons and opportunities for this decision: &#8220;As a result of changing flows of goods in southern Germany, volumes have become concentrated at the central hub in Fulda \u2013 which has resulted in reduced utilisation of the southern regional hub. For this reason, we have decided to reorganise volumes in the scope of our strategic alliance with ILN and S.T.a.R..&#8221;<br>\nAs of 1 September VTL partners who previously used the regional hub in K\u00fcrnach will be able to use the southern TransShipmentPoints (TSP) of ILN or the S.T.a.R. hub in Tauberbischofsheim.<br>\nIn addition, thought is also being paid to the consolidation of S.T.a.R. and VTL volumes in the north. It is currently being examined whether future shipments from the S.T.a.R. northern hub can be handled via the VTL northern hub in Hanover.<br>\nThis precise situation was one of the scenarios that we enacted as alliance partners: bundling the volumes and stability as one of the key criteria in ensuring network security and providing mutual support.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"kd-trigger\">Sustainability report<\/h2><div class=\"kd-inside clearfix\">\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sustainability report 2015 in demand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital use of the second VTL sustainability report, published in January 2016, has provided reason for cheerfulness. In the first half of the year it has already been opened on the website over 400 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest issue reports on the development of VTL since 2013 in the areas of economic, ecological and social sustainability. In this, attracting new talent, personnel development and social commitment play a key role, alongside quality and partner management. Our goal is to develop holistic practical advantages for customers, system partners and employees in order to achieve optimal ecological and economic efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&gt; To the 2015
