-- ニュージーランド政府は、世界的な燃料価格高騰への対応を企業や地域社会にとって困難にしている規制上の障壁を撤廃または一時停止する準備を進めていると、規制担当大臣のデイビッド・シーモア氏と運輸大臣のクリス・ビショップ氏が月曜日に発表した声明で明らかにした。 政府は、一部の大型車両の1回あたりの積載量を増やすことや、ゼロエミッション車の一部の免許区分における重量制限をディーゼル車と同水準にすることなど、複数の政策変更を検討している。 また、大型車両の通行時間やアクセス制限の緩和、大型車両が利用できるルートや時間帯に関する一部の制限の撤廃も検討している。 シーモア大臣は、政府は石油価格高騰によるロックダウンを回避し、国家燃料対応計画の第1段階を可能な限り長く維持する意向だと述べた。 声明によると、政府はニュージーランドが第2段階に移行した場合に迅速に実施できるよう、あらゆる選択肢を検討しており、必要に応じて4月末までに準備を整える予定だという。 声明によると、第2段階への移行が困難になった場合、燃料価格の高騰が中長期的に経済に与える影響を軽減するため、いくつかの選択肢をより恒久的な変更へと見直す可能性があるという。
