A NEW directive from Ireland's Ministry for Tourism and Transport means that hauliers setting up in Ireland after this year will have to sit an examination.
Held by the Chartered Institute and as set down by the EEC, the exam will cover business management and the law and regulations relating to transport business and traffic.
Hauliers who have set up over the past three years will also have to prove their competence by January, 1980.
Still in Ireland, hauliers want the EEC regulations due :o be enforced there post)oned for at least another six months, or phased in over the next three years.
Employers argue that the -egulations were introduced when the EEC was a sixnember federation, all on one and-mass, and that they do lot suit British or Irish road onditions.
