There is one issue which requires the immediate attention of the Transport Minister — tachographs. He has said he will not make any decision until he has talked -to the people concerned. Presumably he means vehicle manufacturers who fit them, operators who buy them and unioins who don't want them.
But what is there to decide? It is a matter of law — European law, and we are Europeans. What does he need to know that his civil servants and their voluminous files cannot tell him in ten minutes? Is it not perhaps that the Minister has found the tachograph issue involves more politics than he or his colleagues imgained? There can be no other excuse for delay.
Everyone is entitled to know where Mr Rodgers stands and what he intends to do. We are now only 10 weeks away from T. Day.
