These Regulations amend the Goods Vehicles (Authorisation of International Journeys) (Fees) Regulations 1983.

The effect of the amendments is to enable fees to be charged as prescribed in the 1983 Regulations as amended in respect of permits issued in respect of the carriage of goods by road for the purposes of the Agreement signed on the 22nd January 1988 between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union concerning international road transport and entering into force on a date to be notified in the London Gazette.

The Regulations also delete references in the 1983 Regulations to the agreements with the Republic of Cyprus, the German Democratic Republic and the Republic of Finland since permits are no longer required under these agreements in respect of the carriage of goods by road.
