THE Federal Association of German Industry, the Combined Association of German Wholesale and Foreign Trade, the Central Association of German Retail Trade and the Central Association of German Craft Trades have made a combined appeal to Federal German M.P.s to remove the special transport tax on W. German C-licensed transport. The tax, introduced in 1955, is intended .to hinder
growth of C-licensed transport, particularly of long-distance C-licensed transport. The appeal states further that statistics showing an increase of 12.8 per cent in tonnage and 8.4 per cent in tonmileage of C-licensed transport since the introduction of the tax are misleading. a large number of transport units not being registered with the Federal Long-distance Goods Transport Bureau in 1954.
