Bureaucrats * UK - Must Be Stoppped
The EU's driving licence proposal is back
London,UK -TNN/Roadway Magazine, by MEP Philip Bradbourn -13 Aug 2007, (originally 30/11/2006): -- The EU Driving Licence Directive is back again to threaten disruption and increased costs to the UK haulage industry. The directive has now reached the second reading stage and we need to act now if we are to stop it... The idea behind the directive is supposedly to improve the free movement of citizens across the EU by standardising licences across each of the member states... The new rules will actually spell out endless and costly retests and medical check-ups for UK drivers. British drivers are required to notify the relevant authorities of any serious medical conditions. The authorities then decide what action to take... Our current system works well and there is no need for a scheme that will only create red tape and inconvenience. The UK government has decided to abstain from the final vote, meaning that unless we can change its mind, Britain's drivers will be swamped with another mountain of red tape and bureaucracy from the EU... The message is simple: if it ain't broke, don't fix it!!!
