answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2023 answer text <p>The dual registration measure came into force in July 2022 to enable eligible specialist events hauliers to transfer their vehicles temporarily between their two operator licences without needing to change vehicle mid-tour.</p><p> </p><p>The measure allows specialist hauliers to undertake journeys in GB on the basis of their GB operator licence and to do the same in the other location on the basis of their EU Community Licence or other third country operator licence. This means specialist events hauliers using the measure benefit by not having their journeys limited by cabotage rules that apply to international operators within each territory, when touring for cultural events.</p><p> </p><p>The Department understands that seven operators – which have an operating base in GB and in the EU or other third country – are currently making use of this measure.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 02/05/2023 13:41:37 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

tabling member printed	The Earl of Clancarty
uin	HL7366
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2023 answer text <p>The UK took an ambitious approach to negotiations with the EU, and our proposals would have ensured that touring artists and their support staff did not need work-permits to perform in the EU. Regrettably, these were rejected by the EU.</p><p><br>It is not UK Government policy to negotiate visa-waivers. The Government is focussed on supporting the creative sector to adapt to requirements for touring in the EU and has now confirmed the vast majority of Member States offer visa and work permit free routes for touring. The UK Government has engaged with the remaining Member States on allowing creative professionals to tour more easily, however ultimately it is up to these countries to align their requirements more closely with the UK's generous rules.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 09/05/2023 17:00:41 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
