EEC PLAN TO BREAK DEADLOCK

IN an attempt to get transport policy plans
moving and break the deadlock which has existed since the Ministers' failure to agree on a forked rates system at their last meeting, the EEC Commission has put forward a new twopart plan.
This involves attempting to implement between now and December 31 1969 as many of the essential measures concerning international traffic as can be found for agreement. Then, between 1970 and 1972, concentrating on introducing common rules for national transport tariffs and developing them into international regulations, with suitable harmonization of competitive conditions.
One factor dictating urgency is that the EEC Customs union—the final breaking down or tariff barriers—becomes effective on July 1 1968.
The Commission has provisionally set this target for the implementation of such items as the aligning of vehicle and fuel taxes, the adoption of basic rules of competition and the establishment of a committee to supervise and regulate the development of international transport.
By January next year the Commission would like to see a start on Community licence quotas, and the introduction of the first stage of a system of published rates.
