Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

states are to be eased under a new directive approved by the Council of Transport Ministers in Brussels last week.

The new rules are aimed at freeing livestock transport from any quota systems where they are in force and leaving the individual member state power to look after its own situation on livestock transport.

Transport of perishable foodstuffs is also to be the subject of easing of current regulations which have been in force since 1962.

In its draft directive the EEC commission points out that it should do everything possible to ensure that food for human consumption is carried under the best possible conditions and as quickly as possible from one place to another.

And the new regulations will also continue to exclude vehicles under six tonnes payload from any quota system which may still be in force.
