Express.co.uk - Home of the Daily and Sunday Express | UK News :: EU tolls soar for truckers: "UK hauliers have to pay up to 20 euro cents (18p) for every kilometre they travel within EU countries.
Now eurocrats want to increase toll charges for road repairs by 30 per cent to help combat air pollution and noise.
Critics say this would put up the cost of food and other items as transport firms pass on costs.
Kate Gibbs of the Road Haulage Association said: “This will just be horrendous. We have to pay tolls when we go to Europe, but their lorry drivers don’t when they come here, as well as more in petrol and diesel tax."
