Blockades On Continental Ports

EDM number 1985 in 2008-09, proposed by Greg Mulholland on 12/10/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Industrial relations and Shipping.

That this House recognises the vital role played by the haulage industry in the UK's economy; is concerned that the economic downturn has placed extreme pressure on the haulage industry; is worried at the repeated blockades of European ports used by the UK haulage industry; notes that blockades have a highly detrimental effect on the UK's economy; is anxious that established EU regulations are not being fully enforced; and calls on the Government to press fellow EU member states such as France to prevent blockades on continental ports by quickly resolving industrial disputes.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
