WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2414/98 by Nikitas KAKLAMANIS to the Commission. Misleading plates on Turkish lorries engaged in international road haulage
Official Journal C 096 , 08/04/1999 P. 0089
WRITTEN QUESTION E-2414/98 by Nikitas Kaklamanis (UPE) to the Commission (27 July 1998) Subject: Misleading plates on Turkish lorries engaged in international road haulage Misleading plates on Turkish vehicles engaged in international road haulage are a source of enormous confusion. Hundreds of Turkish vehicles travel along European roads bearing a plate in the left corner marked "TR" ("Turkey") which is similar to that which Community lorries are entitled to bear. These plates are misleading and illegally imitate a Community model which has been established for the 15 Member States of the Union. Will the Commission say what measures it intends to take to ensure the removal of these misleading plates from Turkish lorries engaged in international road haulage? Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (26 October 1998) The Turkish practice concerning licence plates is not incompatible with Community law or Turkey's international obligations and accordingly the Commission does not intend to take any initiative on the matter.
