	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government has always been clear that European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) permits to secure continued access to the EU are a small part of the solution. We are confident that hauliers will still be able to operate in the EU without an ECMT permit for the equivalents of most of the journeys they make now.</p><p>We secured additional ECMT permits at the ECMT Road Transport Group meeting of 4<sup>th</sup>/5<sup>th</sup> February, which includes 290 annual Euro 5 permits, 336 annual Euro 6 permits, 840 short term Euro 5 permits and 1152 short term euro 6 permits. This in an increase in ECMT permits of around 65%.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2019 answer text <p>The Department received applications for a total of 11,392 permits from 1,991 operator licence holders. Following the application of allocation criteria previously set out to the House, 984 ECMT annual permits have been allocated to operators and a further 2,832 short term permits will start to be allocated by March 2019. The Government has secured additional ECMT permits for 2019 and is in discussions with road haulage stakeholders on the process for allocating these. While hauliers are keen to have certainty on ECMT permits, the Government does not expect these to be primary means of securing market access to the EU for UK hauliers, given good progress on the EU Commission’s proposal on reciprocal access, unilateral measures and bilateral agreements.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 08/02/2019 13:08:40 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
