• Swiss voters have thrown out a proposal for a coordinated transport policy which would have offered major benefits to foreign hauliers routing trucks through the nonEEC state.
Approval by the electorate, voting in a referendum, would have been the first step towards building a transalpine rail link between Germany and Italy, designed to take heavy trucks off the road.
A Swiss Government official told Commercial Motor that one reason for rejecting the proposal was that the transport policy was seen by the opposition as unnecessary, and would have led to private motorists paying for the public transport that the federal government would like to promote.
The link would have been partly-funded by the EEC.
