Strongly against articial means o discrimination under theumbrella o ghting against the social dumping. Cost o such non-tarif barriers poses an inevitable increase in the

cost o transport, and hence the price o goods at stake, which isultimately paid by the ! citi"ens. #ncreased transport costs e$ual with increased production costsand higher unemployment in the !, which endangers the $ualityo lie o the uropean citi"ens, directly.

%sk or harmoni"ed ramework to ensure a level playing eld or! and &SC hauliers not only on social matters, but in all otherrelevant economic and nancial matters.
