The transport commissioner Antonio Tajani says there will be no EU legislation allowing long-length lorries – often referred to as 'megatrucks' or 'gigaliners' – until at least next year.

He was also quoted as saying the bi-lateral agreements allowing the 60-tonne 25-metre lorries to cross the borders of a few member states were not compatible with current EU legislation, nor desirable.
