Blockages off the table but technical problems OBUs not

Under pressure from sector and other interest groups such as Comeos,Voka and OTM, minister Jan Jambon decided yesterday afternoon to call in the police to remove the blockades. In doing so, the activists were given the chance to stop voluntarily, if not, a towing company could be called at their own expense and, in addition to a possible administrative arrest, the driving licence could be revoked for 15 days and the truck temporarily impounded. That was apparently enough to end the actions.
