Carrier sanctions protest

01 September 1994

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

Hoverspeed has lodged complaints with the UK and France against the laws on carriers' liability which, the company says, violate Maastricht provisions on the removal of internal frontiers. Hoverspeed owes about half a million pounds in fines to the British government, which introduced carriers' liability in 1987, and about a tenth of that amount to the French government, which only introduced the sanctions in 1993.

Our work is only possible with your support.
