THE transport committee of the so-called European Parliament, an organization within the Common Market framework, has approved a draft made by the Common Market Commission of standards for a number of rules to govern international road goods transport. The committee is to advise the Parliament, which was to give its commentary on the draft yesterday, to recommend a number of alterations, however, to speed up transport integration within the Market area. The draft in question is concerned mainly with the liberalization of C-licence transport, transport within the immediate region of an international road border, removals carried out by haulage firms, postal transport and transport of exhibition goods and for cultural and sporting events and the like.
BENELUX TRANSPORT STANDARDIZATION 'THE Benelux group of countries' Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg —is to study the possibility of introducing common road transport Customs documents in the area and of limiting Customs formalities, for transit road vehicles to the boundaries of the whole Benelux area rather than at national borders within the area. The Benelux countries already have a standardized transport document for road vehicle operations. As from April 1 an experiment is to be started at two border points between Holland and the Belgo-Luxembourg Economic Union of halving delays of border-crossing vehicles carrying dutyfree items by having Customs checks only on the side of the border of the country of destination. The Benelux Council in Brussels has now been asked to place definite suggestions for rate standardization within Benelux before the bloc's Ministerial Council by the same date.
NEW TRANSPORT LAWS FOR LUXEMBOURG
T UXE:VIBOURG is to pass an Act of LA Parliament by which the transport by road of goods and passengers will be limited to recognized operators. The object is to bring the country's transport legislation in line with that of other West European countries.
Luxembourg is also to introduce maximum and minimum road rates as foreseen by the Benelux treaty and obligatory publication of rates and conditions of carriage as foreseen by the agreement of the European Coal and Steel Community. Tariffs will be based on primary costing and will be checked constantly, with operators having to supply statistical details to the national Government.
The new legislation also incorporates power to control the journeys into the Grand Duchy of non-Luxembourg operators. C-licence transport will b: unaffected by the new law.
