French Freight drivers protest

Truck drivers in France ar protesting about increasing freedom in the European haulage market.

Since 1 January hauliers from Bulgaria and Romania have joined those from Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and the three Baltic states who have the right to carry out up to three domestic transport operations in fellow member states over a seven-day period, following an international operation.

France’s leading haulage organisation said that this puts undue pressure on French hauliers.
