Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

I T is understood that The National Association of Refrigerated Transport Constructors, at present in summer recess, is hopeful of having drawn up complete standards for the design and construction of refrigerated bodywork by the end of this year and that the Ministry of Health will be in a position to issue these standards on a legal basis shortly afterwards. The committee responsible for drawing up the standards has had six monthly meetings so far, and most of the major points of controversy have already been settled so that, when the meetings restart at the beginning of next month, there will be virtually only minor details upon which decisions have to be reached.

Decisions already reached have the full agreement of some of Britain's largest operators of refrigerated vehicles, who are fully in favour of the setting up of such standards as it will simplify their ordering of new vehicles and eliminate the need for them to draw up full specifications for each new order. The initial standards will relate to bodywork intended for operation in the United Kingdom and on the Continent: it is possible that later further standards will be evolved for vehicles operating in extremeLy hot climates.
