These Regulations amend the Goods Vehicles (Authorisation of International Journeys) (Fees) Regulations 1983 because of the abolition of the requirements for permits for goods vehicles from the Czech and Slovak Federal Republic, the Republic of Hungary and the Republic of Portugal to circulate in Great Britain.

The amendment deletes from Schedule 1 to the Regulations of 1983 the references to the Agreement dated 10th November 1970 between the United Kingdom and the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic on International Road Transport, the Agreement dated 23rd February 1970 between the United Kingdom and the Hungarian People’s Republic on the International Carriage of Goods by Road and the Agreement dated 3rd July 1975 between the United Kingdom and the Portuguese Republic on International Road Transport.
