The IRU has adopted the following position

Posted: 01-10-08

IRU recognises that on the basis of current trials the EMS offers a number of advantages, environmental, co-modality etc, but it is not universally applicable across the whole EU at this stage.

IRU encourages Member States to undertake proper test results to find solutions to existing challenges and harmonised European rules which could lead to the use of EMS combinations  in due course.

The powers that be in the IRU were quite adamant that a position needed to be taken at the meeting and worked hard to find this compromise and in the end no one voted against it
