(The note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Goods Vehicles (Operators' Licences, Qualifications and Fees) Regulations 1984. They implement the outstanding requirements of Council Directive (EEC) No. 89/438 of 21st June 1989 (OJ No. L212,22.7.89,p.101) amending Council Directive (EEC) No. 74/561 of 12th November 1974 on admission to the occupation of road haulage operator in national and international transport operations (OJ No. L308,19.11.74,p.18).
The change made by these Regulations is that in order to obtain a certificate of professional competence the individual shall pass a written examination set by an approved body (regulation 4).
The requirement to pass an examination will not apply in relation to certificates of professional competence issued before the coming into force of the Regulations or issued on or after that date to a person who has before that date passed the whole or part of an examination leading to the issue of the certificate (regulation 2(2)).
S.I. 1975/1707.
