ABID by a Turkish company to develop Anglo-Turkish trade links succeeded last week when a new B licence for a pilot vehicle was granted by deputy Metropolitan LA Mr. C. J. Macdonald.
The Turkish Food and Transport Co. Ltd. (the name has now been amended by Board of Trade certificate to Turkish Trading and Transport Co. Ltd.) sought to operate a 15-ton unladen Volvo refrigerated artic outfit with conditions: "Consumer, industrial and general goods, London to Turkey via Dover; fresh fruit and vegetables and general goods, from Turkey via Dover to London".
An objection by Lowe (Paddock Wood) Ltd. was withdrawn after lengthy prehearing discussions.
Mr. Richard Yorke, for the applicants, said his clients had been trying for two years to promote Anglo-Turkish trade. Turkey was short of foreign exchange and haulage charges would be paid in dinars.
A bulky, 50ft.-long outfit was essential for the work. His clients (supported in court by a representative of the Turkish Board of Trade, and a sizeable contingent of merchants) proposed to introduce heavy peaches weighing two peaches to a kilo, Turkish delight and traditional Turkish slippers.
Because there was no packaging industry in Turkey, said Mr. Yorke, .packaging materials had to be imported. Such materials, machinery, and pharmaceutical goods would comprise backloads. An application to vary the licence by adding 10 vehicles had been lodged with the Metropolitan area, said Mr. Yorke.
The application was granted in the following terms: "Fresh fruit, vegetables, agricultural produce, foodstuffs, confectionery and fancy goods all from Turkey, Dover to London. Packaging materials, machinery and spare parts and pharmaceutical products all for delivery in Turkey on the instructions of or contract with Turkish buyers; baggage and effects of Turkish government employees, London to Dover."
