EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
This instrument gives effect to a Commission Decision, updates a definition in an existing set of regulations and revokes a set of redundant regulations.
Regulation 3 of these regulations gives effect to European Commission Decision 2008/7472 of 22nd December 2008 authorising the United Kingdom to grant exceptions, subject to certain conditions, from the application of Article 8(2) and Article 8(6) of Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the harmonisation of certain social legislation relating to road transport. It grants a limited exception from the daily and weekly rest requirements in Article 8(2) and Article 8(6) of that Regulation for drivers who are members of a volunteer reserve force or instructors in the Cadet Corps attending annual camp training or a weekend training session in the United Kingdom.
Regulation 4 revokes the Drivers’ Hours (Goods Vehicles) (Milk Collection) (Temporary Exemption) Regulations 2007 (S.I. 2007/2370).
Regulation 5 amends the definition of “the Community Recording Equipment Regulation” in the Passenger and Goods Vehicles (Recording Equipment) (Approval of Fitters and Workshops) (Fees) Regulations 1986 (S.I. 1986/2128). The amendment substitutes a new definition relating to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 to take account of amendments made to that EEC Regulation as at the date of making these regulations.
Regulation 6 requires the Secretary of State to review and publish a report on the operation and effect of regulation 3 within five years after it comes into force and within every five years after that. Following a review it will fall to the Secretary of State to consider whether the regulations should remain as they are, or be revoked or be amended, A further instrument would be needed to revoke regulation 3 or to amend it. No review is required for regulations 4 or 5 as they concern a revocation and the amendment of a definition respectively. An impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Operator Licensing and Roadworthiness Division, Department for Transport, Great Minster House, 33 Horseferry Road, London SW1P 4DR and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum which is available alongside the instrument on the legislation.gov.uk website at www.legislation.gov.uk.
