BY A SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT
PRINCIPLES of a general transport policy in relation to the European common market were agreed in Paris last week by the International Road Transport Union (I.R.U.). They were considered in detail by the hauliers' and ancillary users' sections and then submitted to the management council.
A report containing the recommendations is now to be drawn up, subject to certain minor amendments, and presented to the I.R.U: congress in Vienna from May 27-31.
The congress will be attended on behalf of the Road Haulage Association by Mr. R. G. Crowther, national chairman, and Mr. R. Morton Mitchell, chief executive officer. The R.H.A. were represented at the Paris meetings by Mr. Morton Mitchell and Mr. J. Mutly, chairman of the international hauliers committee. Mr. F. G. Fitz-Gerald, national secretary of the Traders' Road Transport Association, attended on behalf of that Association.
The hauliers' section put forward for inclusion in the Vienna congress programme the questions of road safety, taxation of vehicles engaged on international services, weights and dimensions of vehicles (in which there are many anomalies between the various countries), the carriage of perishable foodstuffs, general technical problems as between Users and manufacturers, professional training of drivers, international coach services, Customs problems and the setting up of a pallet pool for international road transport.
