This is pertinent to another point in the manifesto which was a particular interest of Foyle when he was president - traffic rights. I think that GATT could possibly be a better way to decide bilaterals than the present system, where a single country can be picked off and where rights don't relate to trade. But that stance reveals a sympathy for the agenda of Chris Foyle, who also attended the Brussels meeting, and his British Cargo Alliance. The BCA is pushing for cabotage rights within the United States and a relaxation of American ownership and wet-leasing rules. BCA reckons that is a fair exchange for current U.S. rights within Europe.
Bridges sees no contradiction, or at least thinks the contradiction can be overcome.
In any case, we can't wait for 100 percent agreement. If we did it would be a very bland organization. Traffic rights was Foyle's project, and Menen before him did a lot for the promotion of Dubai as a hub. Bridges, not surprisingly, hopes to champion express issues. Inc. All rights reserved.
