Can you remember what year they lifted the transit ban on Sundays in the Basque country.Would see hundreds of Portuguese hauliers waiting for the ban to finsish.If coming from Portugal via Miranda de Ebro to Irun,at what point could we not go any further on Sundays.Heard they had to allow trucks to transit on Sunday,due to some new EU law.What was the legal reason for it?On a different subject,the UK Health and Safety army have banned(In some councils and schools,not all.)parents from attending sports days,as having any adults there would attract unsavoury characters,so the kids compete alone.Swimming goggles,due to risk of injury,and levels of chemicals in pools.Mums baking cakes for fetes and school do`s.And pupils banned from bringing sun lotion to school,in hot weather.
If I was transiting on a Sunday I would always take a cake my Mother had baked and wear goggles just in case I saw a swimming pool.But of course I would not be in Spain on a Sunday, I would be at the pole dancing club in Frome.

It was about 2 years ago and it had nothing whatsoever to do with an EU law, the Basque ban was challenged in the Spanish high courts by the Cantabrian regional government on the grounds that it effectively cut them off from other parts of Spain depsite them and the other regins not having a ban, at the first attempt they failed to get the bans overturned but at the second time around succeeded on the basis that a blanket ban in Spain was illegal under Spanish law. The ban is still in place but with the diference that there are now corridors that you can use such as the A1,A8,A15,N1 etc etc unless there is a ban in France as well in which case restrictions are placed for vehicles heading towards France on the corridors.
