GENERAL PROVISIONS

This authorisation is issued pursuant to Article 2 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2831 /72 of 28 December 1972 concerning the Community quota for the carriage of goods by road between the Member States . 1 It permits the international carriage of goods by road for hire or reward from any Member State of the European Economic Community by any route to any other Member State, but does not authorise the carrying out of any transport operation for hire or reward entirely within the territory of one Member State. It is not valid for transport operations between a Member State and a non-Member State, nor is it valid on the territory of a non-Member State for transport in transit through that non­ Membsr State . It is personal to the holder and non-transferable.

It may be withdrawn by the competent authority of the Member State which issued it, and in particular in the event of insufficient use or where the use made of it is confined to bilateral transport operations only. It may be used for only one vehicle at a time.2 It mus : be carried in the vehicle and must be accompanied by a book of record sheets for all international transport operations effected under it. The authorisation and the book of record sheets for international transport operations must be produced together whenever required by an authorised inspecting officer. The holder is required to comply in the territory of each Member State with the laws , regulations and administrative provisions of that State, and in particular with those concerning transport and road traffic. This authorisation must be returned to the competent issuing authority or agency within fifteen days following its date of expiry.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

1 . This book of record sheets contains 50 detachable sheets , numbered 1 to 50, each of which constitutes a form for recording international transport operations. Each book is numbered and that number is marked on every page of the book . 2 . The carrier is responsible for the proper completion of the records of international transport operations. 3 . The book must accompany the Community authorisation to which it relates . It must be produced whenever required by an authorised inspecting officer. 4 . A record sheet must be completed for each journey. A journey is defined as a number of successive stages travelled by a single vehicle. It normally starts and finishes at the place where the vehicle is usually based. Therefore all stages of the journey from the starting point to the end of that journey must be indicated . A stage is defined as that part of a journey between any two stops for loading and/or unloading whether partial or total. Details should also be entered on any stage travelled unladen between the start of the journey and the first loading point, and between the last unloading point and the end of the journey, where such stages relate directly to the use of the Community authorisa­ tion . A record sheet may not be used to record more than one journey. 5 . Record sheets must be used in numerical order and the successive stages (whether laden or unladen) must be entered in chronological order. Where a journey consists of more than five stages , details of the additional stages should be entered on the next sheet. 6 . Each item in the record sheet must be completed accurately and legibly by printing in indelible ink . 7 . Each completed record sheet must be returned to the authority or agency of the Member State which issued this book not later than two weeks after the end of the month to which the sheet relates . Where a journey runs over from one month into the next the record should be included in the return for the month in which the journey began (e.g. a journey beginning towards the end of January and ending in the early part of February should be included in the January return). 8 . Care should be taken at the relevant frontier crossing point to see that the sheet is stamped by the customs authorities at the point of entry into any country where a stage is to end .
