• Arrangements are in hand for the Anglo /Yugoslav Road Transport Agreement, signed early this year, to come into force on January 1,
From the beginning of the New Year, UK goods vehicle operators holding a Yugoslav permit, or engaged in certain exempt classes of movement, will no longer have to pay the transport tax hitherto levied on journeys to, from or in transit through Yugoslavia.
A quota of 2,500 journeys per year has been agreed and permits can be issued without restriction, subject only to the availability of permits for transit through other countries en route to Yugoslavia.
Permits will be valid for one return journey only, the outward and return legs of a transit journey through Yugoslavia counting as one complete journey. Each permit will be valid for one month from the date on which the vehicle is to enter Yugoslavia on the outward part of the journey. The fee for each permit will be 15s.
Permits will be required whether the vehicle is carrying goods for hire or reward or on own-account but not for trailers or semi-trailers which are hauled in Yugoslavia by a non-UK tractor.
Vehicles from each country are prohibited by the terms of the Agreement from engaging in the other's internal road transport. Carriage of goods by hauliers of one country between the other country and a third country can be undertaken only if special permission is first obtained from the appropriate authority in the other country.
Applications for permits will be dealt with on a monthly basis. Late applications will be dealt with whenever possible but operators are asked to submit applications before 14th of the preceding month. Any applications received more than two months in advance will be returned for re-submission nearer to the required date. When transit permits are required for Germany or Italy for journeys to Yugoslavia the relevant application forms should be submitted together.
A memorandum RTG /OUT/017) giving details of the system and including a list of the exempt classes of traffic may be obtained free of charge from the Ministry of Transport, Road Transport (Goods) Division, St. Christopher House, Southwark Street, London, SE1, or from the Northern Traffic Area.
Application forms for permits and any further advice about the issue of permits may be obtained from The Clerk to the Licensing Authority, Northern Traffic Area, Low Friar House, 36/42 Low Friar Street, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 5XR, telephone Newcastle upon Tyne 610031, telex 53351, •
German permits up 5s
As from January 1, 1970, the fee for issue of a German permit for the carriage of goods to, from or in transit through the Federal Republic of Germany will be raised from 10s to 15s, bringing the fee into line with the charge made for issue of other foreign road haulage permits. In future the appropriate sum should be sent on request instead of with the application form for a permit.
