  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations.)\nThese Regulations amend the Goods Vehicle (Testing) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2003 (the “2003 Regulations”) by making provision for the issuing of a certificate of temporary exemption and to allow such a certificate to be acceptable when applying for a licence under the Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994 (the “1994 Act”).\nRegulation 2 creates a new regulation, 22A (certificates of temporary exemption), which makes provision for the Department of the Environment to issue a certificate of temporary exemption. Regulation 2 also prescribes the content of the certificate of temporary exemption.\nRegulation 3 amends regulation 23 (production of certificate on application for licence) of the 2003 Regulations so as to allow a current certificate of temporary exemption to be an acceptable document (in lieu of a current vehicle test certificate) when making an application for a licence under the 1994 Act.",
