WRITTEN QUESTION No. 2882/97 by David BOWE to the Commission. Dumping - Potash industry
C 117/92 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 16. 4. 98 The Directive requires all drivers to meet the minimum standards and does not provide for transitional periods or derogations from these standards. However, Member States may fix stricter standards if they so wish. Although the Commission had proposed to provide a clause giving Member States the possibility of renewing driving licences under the same conditions for medical standards as those which were applicable at the time of the first issue of the licence, such a derogation was not retained by the Council when adopting the Directive. The Commission will, consequently, not come forward with the proposal suggested by the Honourable Member. (1) OJ L 237, 24. 8. 1991.
