carry no report this week of the May 6 meeting of the Community's transport ministers.
The reason is simple. It did not happen.
Why? You may well ask. Well, May 4 was the Greek Orthodox Easter and the Greek delegation was none too happy about hacking its way across Europe on a holiday peculiar to it, especially as the reception promised to be less than cordial.

That is why EEC laws take a painfully long period to come to pass.
