“LI regret that France has gone against our recommendations and that it has returned us to the situation we were in in March, when supply chains were disrupted. “, wrote Adina Valean on the social network Twitter.
Truck traffic between the UK and France was suspended for 48 hours due to fears of the SARS-CoV-2 strain detected in British territory and that it could be up to 70% more contagious.
The proliferation of this strain could mean more restrictive and confined measures, decisions that could further delay the economic recovery of the European Union (EU) nations.
Despite being “satisfied” with the news that some truckers have started to cross the border between the two countries in the last few hours, and that British authorities have announced that they can test 300 people per hour, Adina Valean said that hoped that the members of the European Union “respond quickly” to the request of the EC to “relax driving rules and rest times”, as well as not impose border restrictions “so that drivers can return to their families at Christmas “.
Some 10,000 trucks cross the UK-French border at this time of year, transporting mostly food and other holiday-related goods.
Several truck drivers protested the closure of the border and were involved in clashes with British police, frustrated by the hours of travel that still had the ever-present idea that he might not be home in time for Christmas.
