• Mr John Peyton has made revised International Circulation Regulations which come into force on April 1972 governing the temporary entry into Great Britain of foreign-registered public service vehicles. The regulations will give effect to a European Conference of Ministers of Transport resolution calling for a single mutually acceptable control document to be issued in the operator's home country. The document would exempt the operator from all licensing controls in the countries )eing visited. The new regulations revoke the Public Service Vehicles (International Circulation) Regulations 1970. They maintain the present exemptions from the licensing requirements of the Road Traffic Act 1960, but now require vehicles engaged in certain types of service and registered in the following countries to carry a prescribed control document : Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, France, Greece, Republic of Ireland, Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, Yugoslavia.
The French Government has agreed to issue its own operators with the appropriate control document but is not a party to the reciprocal arrangements. British vehicles visiting France will still require. the appropriate French documentation.
There is already a bilateral agreement between Holland and the UK.
Adoption of the ECMT resolution by the UK will benefit British operators of "closed door tours" and outward laden/ return unladen service by reciprocation.
The DoE has designated the PVOA as the competent authority for the issue of the standard control document. All requests should be addressed to the Secretary of the Association at 12 Emerald Street, London, SW1 (tel: 01-405 9963).
Copies of the Regulations—the Public Service Vehicles (International Circulation) Regulations 1972 (SI 1972/341)—are available from HMSO or any bookseller price 8p.
