THE LATEST battle in the fight for a common transport policy within the EEC drew to a close this week. The EEC's Court of Justice heard final arguments for and against ordering the Council of Ministers to start taking decisions on items like vehicle tax, weights and dimensions, and dipping fuel tanks at borders.
First indications of its likely ruling are expected in five weeks when the advocate general reports, but the judges are not bound by his findings. Their decision is expected before Christmas.
The Council, which is supported by the Netherlands, is being challenged by the European Parliament, which is being supported by the European Commission. The case is seen as a major test for the future of the Community.
