If approved, the Commission’s proposal allows UK hauliers the right to perform journeys to and from destinations in the EU for 6 months until 30 June.
It would also allow UK hauliers to transit the Republic of Ireland on journeys to and from Northern Ireland, but it would not provide transit to third countries, cabotage or cross-trade.
The Commission’s proposal will now be urgently considered by the European Council and European Parliament, and the UK Government is confident it will be adopted in time for it to come into effect from 1 January 2021.
