['HE NUMBER of small ■ perators who may face evocation of their licences as t result of required European rtandards of competence is lot thought to be large, tccording to Transport Minster Norman Fowler.
It was, he said in the Comnons, open to any such iperator either to employ a )rofessionally competent ransport manager or to ilatain a certificate of proessional competence.
Mr Fowler told Alan Hasellurst (Tory, Saffron Walden) hat he could not extend the nterim qualifying period vhich expired on December l. The termination of interim irrangements was a specific equirement of EEC directives ind the deadline had long been :nown and widely publicised.
The application of the proessional competence requirenent as part of licensing road iaulage operators was a mater for the licensing authorities )r, as regards licensing of )ublic service vehicle operaors, for the Traffic Commis;ioners.
