• EU Social Affairs Commissioner Padraig Flynn could block Neil Kinnock's plan for a pan-European 48-hour limit on drivers' working weeks.
Flynn's spokeswoman says the Commissioner does not intend to table a radical proposal which would face immediate hostility, in particular from the United Kingdom.
She adds: "Neil Kinnock's support is not enough to overcome the foreseeable opposition. We do not want this to be looked at as yet another regulation imposed by Brussels."
Flynn's proposals on working time limits in the transport sector will be published in the spring, she says.
