THE FREIGHT Transport Association has threatened to sue the European Commission for the costs incurred by the delayed launch of digital tachographs if it fails to outline a new timetable for their introduction. The FTA's lawyer.Mark Clough QC, has written to EU Transport Commissioner Loyola de Palacio warning that she has a legal obligation to provide operators with a new schedule for the equipment's introduction (CM 19 February). ETA chief executive Richard Turner says that is has been obvious for months that the initial timetable has slipped away.
-We have asked nicely, fairly and formally for the Commission to outline a new timetable so our members know what action ti should take but it has refused tc so,says Turner.
"It is in our members' intei that we should take further le action to sue the EC for the cc of the delay incurred by them."
