The Regulations amended principal EU regulations regarding road transport operator data disclosure and serious infringement classifications to implement decisions made by the SCRT under the TCA.

These Regulations, enacted under the European Union (Future Relationship) Act 2020, amend several pieces of assimilated legislation concerning the European Registers of Road Transport Undertakings (ERRU) to align UK procedures with post-Brexit requirements established by the Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) through SCRT decisions.

The modifications focus on updating data disclosure requirements for road transport operators, specifying new data fields such as risk rating bands and vehicle registration numbers in electronic registers, adjusting timeframes for data access, and refining the classification of serious infringements that could lead to the loss of good repute, ensuring continuity and cooperation between the UK and EU regarding road transport operator licensing and oversight.

Furthermore, the regulations modify Regulation (EU) No 165/2014, extending the record-keeping period to 56 days and making consequential amendments to Commission Regulation (EU) 2016/403.
