Mr. Eugene Drennan:

The rebate scheme as proposed by us takes us to Europe's legal level, of which we have to be cognisant. If we get that maximum, the rest of the strain must be taken by the customer. We need the committee's support because the customers are refusing to come to the table. Some customers have said that they cannot withstand anything but those with the wealthiest balance sheets in the country will not address their hauliers.
