EU to consider if new cross border lorry tax is legal

Marian Harkin
The EU is to consider if a new tax on Hauliers crossing from the Republic into Northern Ireland complies with European regulations.
The issue has been raised in the European Parliament by Northwest MEP Marion Harkin.

Marian Harkin says there is a question as to whether this is against EU laws:
