Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

EEC TRANSPORT Ministers may discuss proposed amendments to drivers' hours regulations at their next meeting, which is scheduled for June 10. Our Brussells correspondent reports.

Social regulation 543/69 is under review at present, and an

EEC Commission spokesman told CM: "We accept that some aspects of the regulation are far too rigid. For example, it is necessary at present for a works vehicle to be fitted with a tachograph to cross a public road from one factory to another."

He said that matters such as this could be dealt with in a discussion paper presented to the transport council meeting in June, but added: "The problem of irregular daily and weekly driving hours is a more complicated matter."
