IRU meets with French Transport Minister

A high level delegation from the International Road Transport Union (IRU) has met with French Secretary of State in charge of Transport, Dominique Bussereau, who chairs the EU Transport Council of Ministers for the next six months, to discuss the IRU's transport priorities as well as those of the French Presidency. In what has been described as a "fruitful exchange" the IRU laid out its position on the current fuel price crisis and possible solutions to be implemented at national, EU, global and industry level.

The IRU explained its position on the Eurovignette Directive and the internalisation of external costs. The IRU says it will now pursue positive dialogue with Bussereau with the view to effectively address mutual priority issues.
