Weyts: 'Passing on road pricing cannot be done'

During Tuesday’s press conference, Weyts stressed that the flanking measures on the Flemish side provide for a reduction in the burden on hauliers totalling 104 million euros. These are a reduction in the road tax for heavy vehicles (5 million); an abolition of the road tax for vehicles up to 12 tonnes (4 million); the abolition of the Eurovignette (55 million); and a reduction in the direct and indirect wage burden (40 million). “Also, around 100 million go towards additional investments in the road network. To this must be added flanking policies,” he said.
