". – Thank you for the supplementary question. I have to stick to the measures as announced and I find it even more difficult to speculate about the ramifications of the subject as I am not the Commissioner specifically in charge. I hope you will understand this and I can only refer back to the elements I gave in the reply provided a few minutes ago.
In reply to the honourable Member who asked how the structure of the charging system in the UK affects competition in the road haulage sector, perhaps I could add that at the moment British hauliers pay road-tolls or user charges – "
" – when travelling in other countries such as France or Belgium, while at the same time they pay at home high vehicle taxes through which they contribute towards the infrastructure costs of the road network in Britain. On the other hand non-British hauliers pay nothing when travelling in Britain. They therefore do not contribute at all towards road infrastructure costs in Britain and at the same time pay lower vehicles taxes at home. This imbalance of an economic nature between the charges and taxes imposed on hauliers in different Member States distorts the conditions under which hauliers of different nationalities compete in the UK."@en1
