EU-Parliament

The European parliament has already voiced its opposition to longer and heavier vehicles on several occasions, even if though this was at times only with a slight majority:
In April 2007 just before the EU Transport Committee voted on the mid-term review of the White Paper on Transport, a Swedish MEP and Gigaliner supporter tried to get an amendment added. His request was rejected.

In May 2007, the EU Transport Committee debated a parliamentary report 'European freight transport logistics – the key to sustainable mobility', which was not in favour of 60 tonne vehicles. In the debate, opponents of mega trucks were in a clear majority.

In July 2007, amendments favouring Gigaliners were rejected on three occasions – the Barsi-Pataky Report, the evaluation of the First Railway Package and the Ayala-Sender Report.
