iE RULES governing the movement of goods hides between the United Kingdom and Ireland e to be brought into line with those for the iropean Community as a whole, with effect from Parliamentary Secretary for Transport Kenneth arke, pointed out in the Commons that at prent Irish hauliers wanting to send vehicles into or rough Great Britain or Northern Ireland had to lain licences from the Metropolitan Licensing ithority or the Department of the Environment 'orthern Ireland). British hauliers wanting to rid vehicles into Ireland had to apply to the Irish ithorities.
This was not consistent with the EEC directive nich required licenses for journeys between amber States to be issued by the authorities of a country in which the vehicle was registered. Compliance with the directive would require a ateral agreement, noted Mr Clarke, and this the iited Kingdom had been trying to conclude for me years.
He was glad to say that negotiations were now mplete, and he hoped that the agreement would signed in the near future and be brought into 'ce on July 1. When the directive was in force OK hauliers mild obtain the necessary permits from the partment's international Road Freight Office in !wcastle or from the Department of the Enonment (Northern Ireland) as appropriate.
