Prezident of the Association ČESMAD BOHEMIA, Mr. Vladimír Starosta, said: “Europe starts to divide. Richer countries decided to introduce strict protectionist measures against the Czech hauliers…. If reloading of the cargo at the borders waites for us again, the united Europe will make no sense.“

 

CESMAD Slovakia actions in Bratislava

CESMAD Slovakia organised two visits at the French Embassy and European Commission Representation in Bratislava, handling the Joint RESOLUTION against loi MACRON and protectionist measures in road transport addressed to Mr. Jean–Claude Juncker, President of the European Commission and to Mr. François Hollande – President of France by ANTRAM (Portugal), ASTIC (Spain), AEBTRI (Bulgaria), CESMAD BOHEMIA (Czech Republic), CESMAD Slovakia (Slovakia), ERAA (Estonia), LATVIJAS AUTO (Latvia), LINAVA (Lithuania), MKFE (Hungary) UNTRR (Romania) and ZMPD (Poland).

CESMAD Slovakia had a good discussion at French embassy where they were really interested in road hauliers problems with Loi macron. At European Commission they cancelled the meeting so CESMAD Slovakia gave a letter to assitant of Mr. Chrenek (Head of Representation) but it was disappointing as that was the very least they could do. Despite this it was good action and medias were interested in.
