Road Transport Association, Mr. K. C. Turner, said recently that it was "probably not generally recognized that harmonization of transport is a key principle of the Common Market Treaty."
He added: "Broadly speaking, this presupposes that the divergent national policies of the Common Market countries in regard to both road and rail will be gradually modified towards the point where a common policy emerges.
"Exactly what that policy will be is of vital concern to (rade and industry generally and the T.R.T.A. is playing its full part in the discussions which are proceeding.
"Meanwhile the interest of members in using their own commercial vehicles to transport goods to and from Europe which is likely to expand greatly if Britain enters the Common Market has already shown a sharp rise, and our International Department has been frequently asked to advise on the various problems involved."
LOADING BAN PLAN
FOLLOWING the announcement that the Government is to review the road traffic situation throughout the country, Nottinghain City Corporation may impose a ban on loading and unloading in 37 areas in the centre of the city.
Objections to the proposed ban, which would be enforced between 8.30 a.m. and 9.10 a.m. and from 5.15 p.m. to 6.15 p.m., will be considered soon under the chairmanship of an independent Government official. The findings will 'be submitted' to the Ministry before the end of the year.
