Press Release: Tyrolean HGV ban to go before the European Court of Justice

The European Commission decided to bring proceedings before the European Court of Justice against the sectoral driving ban on the Inntal motorway in Tyrol. In an intensive series of exchanges with Austria, the Commission tried to achieve a balance between the requirements of the free movement of goods and the protection of the environment and health of the citizens of Tyrol. In a few crucial points, clear improvements were also achieved. However, the talks finally foundered on the issue of the sectoral driving ban.
