<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>
