THE TRANSPORT infrastructure proposals are an exciting opportunity for Britain to gain, rather than lose, from Europe, says the British Road Federation.
• BRF director Robert Philli pson told British European VIPs in Strasbourg this week :hat he considers a common transport policy is more important than the common agricultural policy.
"All members of the community depend on transport to much the same degree, whereas agriculture is not only a smaller sector overall, but is of varying rtrriportance to member states."
He called for the Council of Ministers to act swiftly on the Green Paper, and said: "Our membership of the Common Market has so far been characterised by missed chances, failed opportunities, and an ambivalence to the whole concept and whole ideal of Europe."
