Italy adopts a special statute intended to promote railroad safety. It required that all trains (passenger or freight) operating in that country must not operate above a specied maximum weight being pulled by each engine car. This is intended to reduce "drag weight" and allow trains to stop at trafc intersections easier and thereby reduce injuries or deaths. For the most part, it causes delays at the border when trains entering from any other country must stop and add pre-positioned engine cars or reduce freight cars to meet this weight limit. Several European railroad companies complain to the EU that this is a trade barrier. How do you evaluate this complaint as a member of the European Commission or General court? 0 a. Italy has the absolute right to exert its sovereignty over railroads on the basis of promoting public safety. 0 b. Under Commission of the European Communities 1/. Portuguese Republic, such law appears to generally hinder intracommunity trade, directly or indirectly, and this outweighs its alleged safety benefits which should be achievable by less intrusive methods. O c. As long as no EU rule or directive governs this issue, Italian law is supreme in its absence. 0 d. Italy is allowed great power to regulate its transportation industry; this is not intended to be a "trade issue" of anyjurisdiction or concern of EU
