Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

HE General Council of British (hipping hopes that the Govmment will quickly implement he new limits proposed by the ■ rm Rage Inquiry.

The Council says that most UK ontainer groups commonly use No-axle tractive/two-axle trailer ombinations as part of their oor-to-door transport service. Inder present UK weight restricons, this has led to containers eing underloaded by up to six )nnes.

This disadvantage persists ven though the restriction is aplicable to only the first or last )w miles of a journey, says the Duncil.

Furthermore, if the even igher limits being considered y the EEC are implemented, the ouncil says that the number of If-ries on the road will be reuced, with consequent savings

freight costs which would ad3ntage both both operators and sers.
