answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>ECMT permits are unlikely to be needed because an EU measure on basic road connectivity is about to be adopted which would allow for the majority of road haulage journeys currently undertaken by UK hauliers to continue during 2019 without the need for permits.</p><p> </p><p>The applications from the current ECMT window will be combined with the unsuccessful applications from the first window. For these applications, there are an additional 626 annual permits available. If the EU proposal passes and we only need permits for specific types of journey, we may not allocate all 626 and instead use them for the purposes of cross trade or transit to third countries.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 14/03/2019 11:20:33 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

It makes clear our steadfast commitment to upholding the Belfast Agreement in full. Specifically, preserving cross-border cooperation on transport in full.</p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 14/03/2019 11:31:04 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling
