Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

• EC Transport Commissioner Karel van Miert has hit out at the refusal of some EC countries to accept cabotage.

"It is unacceptable that, by refusing the principle of cabotage which has been inscribed in the Treaty of Rome since 1967, some 30% of international lorries continue to travel empty," he says.

0 Van Miert's officials are preparing a paper on the scale of investment required to ensure that roads and bridges can cope with a doubling of freight traffic in the next 20 years.

He says the EC economy is threatened by a lack of investment in infrastructure.
