Your Comment (16-22 May) asks whether "UK Haulage PLC" would prefer to shape the future or be governed by it. A good question—but one which ignores the 1998 decision by its multi-national parent "Camions Europeenes SA" to go for the second option over working time.
All other transport sector! managed to reach agreemen on modifications to cater MI their special needs. Thi: enabled them, in effect, to writi their own Directives under thi EU's social dialogue.
Only road transport employ ers and trade unions could no agree. This forced thi Commission to do the job fo them which in turn let minister and MEPs in on the act.
As a result the industry i now stuck with a Directly which is inconsistent with th present drivers' hours rules, It alone the proposed revision. Reg Dawson, Iinvyn, Wales.
