Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

THE impact which pipelines would have OD other means for transport was examined at the European conference of Ministers. of Transport, in Paris, last month. The Ministers instructed their deputies to make a general study of the situation. On the question of road safety. the Ministers adopted a resolution favouring member countries' adherence to the Geneva agreements concerning road traffic and technical equipment. They were also in favour of adopting a uniform speed limit in built-up areas, and welcomed steps taken to draw up a European Highway Code. It was noted that, since the beginning of 1958, there was no longer any relation between the development of industrial production and the demand for transport by rail or inland waterways. Road traffic, however, being less sensitive to fluctuations in mass transport movements, continued to increase.
