<p>The UK is seeking reciprocal arrangements on road haulage in our negotiations with
the EU and we are confident of reaching a good deal which works for this key sector.
Through the Haulage Permits and Trailer Registration Act and subsequent regulations,
the Government is prepared for the range of possible outcomes, including the unlikely
possibility of a no-deal outcome.</p><p> </p><p>The work the Department has undertaken
will ensure we are able to allocate permits efficiently to deliver the greatest economic
benefit should demand exceed supply. While there are currently around 32,000 vehicles
authorised on Community Licences, we do not expect to receive this many ECMT applications.</p><p>
</p><p>In 2019 the UK will have a total of 3,816 permits, comprised of 984 annual
permits and 2,832 monthly permits.</p>
