• Common Market Transport Ministers may face searching criticisms at the special transport session of the Council in October_ The questions will be prepared at a special meeting of the transport committee in September.
In Brussels last week Mr S. A. Posthumus, chairman of the European Parliament's transport committee, expressed the committee's grave concern over the delay occuring in the Council's work on transport. A public statement is to be issued to supplement the Ministerial questioning session.
It is understood that agreement so far is confined: (1) to the organization of a survey of infrastructure costs for rail, road and inland waterways: (2) to the establishment of a statement on international goods transport by road within the framework of regional statistics. Agreement still seems far away on other points such as bracket tariffs and tachometer use.
