• International haulage reference tariffs in the EC are due to be formally abolished by Common Market transport ministers at their meeting in Luxembourg on 16 October.
The last remaining compulsory tariffs between Germany, France, Italy and the Benelux block were scrapped at the end of last year.
Compulsory tariffs still exist in some national markets for long-distance haulage, notably in Germany and Italy, but the EC says freeing the domestic markets will be its next lEriority.
LJ The Transport Council is also due to agree on the training of drivers of vehicles with dangerous loads. Brussels says that by 1992 all drivers of such vehicles — both on national and international journeys — should qualify for ADR certificates before they are allowed behind the wheel.
