    In an interview published on the website of the European campaign alliance No Mega Trucks, Tajani said no decision would be taken until next year at the earliest.

    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.
