Explanatory note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Goods Vehicles (Authorisation of International Journeys) (Fees) Regulations 1983 as previously amended by The Goods Vehicles (Authorisation of International Journeys) (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 1987 and the Goods Vehicles (Authorisation of International Journeys) (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations 1989. These Regulations enable a fee of £7 to be payable on the issue of a short-term Community authorisation of thirty days. Community Authorisations are defined in the 1983 Regulations and are required for international road haulage journeys. The previous fee for a Community Authorisation which
is valid for one year, or
has an unexpired term of less than one year,
remains unchanged, except that in case (b) above the unexpired term must now be greater than thirty days.
