  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\n1 These Regulations further amend the Motor Vehicles (Type Approval and Approval Marks) (Fees) Regulations 1984 in the following ways–\n(a) regulation 3 corrects an error in regulation 4(2) of the principal Regulations;\n(b) regulation 4 amends regulation 8(2)(c)(ii) so as to distinguish between fees applied to vehicles in category N2 and those in category N3;\n(c) regulation 5 amends regulation 13 and restructures the fees payable on withdrawals and cancellations. The new structure prescribes a cancellation fee of £66–\n(i) if the Secretary of State is notified not less than 7 days before the date fixed for the examination of the withdrawal or of the intention not to submit a vehicle or vehicle part for an examination in relation to which a fee in regulation 5 or Schedule 1 applies, or\n(ii) if the Secretary of State is so notified not less than 14 days before the date fixed for the final examination of a vehicle in relation to which a fee in Schedule 2 or Schedule 3 applies.\nThe cancellation fees in other cases are—\n(A) where the examination fee is specified in column (a) of Schedule 1, a quarter of that fee plus any wasted expenses incurred by the Secretary of State;\n(B) where the examination fee is specified in regulation 5 or column (b) of Schedule 1, a half of that fee or £150 if less;\n(C) where the examination fee is specified in Schedule 2 or 3, £200; and\n(D) where a partial examination under regulation 7 is involved, such proportion of the fee as the Secretary of State considers to be appropriate;\n(d) regulation 6 amends regulations 5, 6, 11 and 15 and increases the fees payable for certain examinations, towards certain expenses, and when particulars and notifications are sent to the Secretary of State; and\n(e) regulation 7 substitutes new Schedules for Schedules 1 to 5 to the principal Regulations. Almost 75% of the fees are increased by varying amounts, almost equally in the ranges of 0–20% and 20–50% but with a small number increasing by amounts greater than 50%. A small number of fees remain unchanged or are new fees. The remaining fees are decreased by varying amounts, mostly in the range of 0–20%.\n2 Copies of the ECE Regulations and EEC Directives referred to in these Regulations may be obtained from Her Majesty’s Stationery Office.",
