Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend regulation 5 of the Goods Vehicles (Operators' Licences) (Temporary Use in Great Britain) Regulations 1980, by substituting references to Council Directive 92/106/EEC (“the Directive”) for references to Council Directive 75/130/EEC as amended, which has been repealed.

The principal effect of the amendment is to widen the definition of “combined transport” to include journeys made partly by road and partly by sea. Previously the definition only covered journeys made partly by road and partly by rail or inland waterway. The rail, inland waterway or sea leg of any journey of combined transport must exceed 100 kilometres as the crow flies.

Journeys of combined transport within the meaning of the Directive are exempt from the requirement for an operator’s licence under section 60(1) of the Transport Act 1968 if a transport document meeting the requirements of Article 3 of the Directive is carried on the vehicle.
