• A one-day seminar dealing with the likely effects on the freight industry if Britain becomes a full member of the Common Market is to be presented at Southport on Wednesday October 27.
The seminar will outline trading opportunities in a market of 250m people and will review the terms Britain has negotiated and discuss likely effects on trade and transport—how much traffic will pass by road, rail or conventional shipping?
The existing transport systems in the EEC will be reviewed in the light of the progress made towards a common transport policy. Containerization and roll-on /roll-off techniques will be examined and there will be an assessment of future trends. There will be a discussion of the quota system—which countries require permits how they may be obtained—and on the implications for Britain if the forked tariff principle is generally adopted within the EEC.
The seminar fee is £20. Full details of programme from: Freight Information Services. 17 Tarn Road, Formby, Liverpool, L37 2JY.
