IGLO-IRISH bilateral agreement discussions were taking place in blin this week against the background of a dispute over alleged gal cabotage running by Northern Irish companies.

le routine discussions been the British and Irish ReDlic Departments of Trans-t, with a representative of the ight Transport Association isent, will look at the broad ration of the April 1980 laement.

Iut they were bound to cuss the cabotage row, which ; arisen after Irish Customs Excise officials on a mobile :rol outside Dublin last June zed two articulated lorries m the North, alleging they I infringed Article Three of 1980 agreement.

I states: "Nothing in this -eement shall be held to -rnit a carrier authorised in the ritory of one party to pick up Dds at a point in the territory the other party for setting

n or delivery at any other nt in that territory.'` The Irish Customs do not sug;t that the two Northern lor ries were undertaking such classic cabotage as carrying goods from Cork to Dublin, but they say it is contrary to the agreement for the tractive units to be exchanged, as happened in June.

They demanded £1,000 payments for the seized tractive units.
