rates for road haulage come into effect, hauliers who are found guilty of charging rates outside the legal brackets will be liable to fines of up to $10,000 (approximately £3,570).
This information was given in London on Tuesday by Mr. Robert Georgen, a divisional head in the transport directorate of the E.E.C. Commission. Mr. Georgen was giving the first-ever Press conference held in this country over E.E.C. transport matters, the occasion being taken to give background information to the plans now being considered to bring into effect a common E.E.C. transport policy. These plans, together with the recommended dates for implementation of each item, were exclusively revealed in The Commercial Motor of June 8.
It is hoped, Mr. Georgen said, that a Community system of licensing international haulage, regardless of nationality, could be effected by 1969. C-licence transport should be completely free, subject to definition (which should be laid down by 1964).
Only very limited E.E.C. participation in domestic licensing was envisaged, he thought, although no definite statement emerged. "Our approach to domestic transport is very cautious," he emphasized. Some co-ordination of standards to be applied might, nevertheless, be brought in. This could include financial stability, keeping standard accounts and some standard of professional qualification.
Mr. Georgen also revealed that in the negotiations for British entry into the Common Market British delegates had so far raised no objections relating to transport.
