EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend Schedule 2 to the Road Vehicles (Registration and Licensing) Regulations 2002 ("the principal Regulations") which contains provisions regarding reduced pollution certificates and the reduced pollution requirements.
The Regulations amend the principal Regulations so as to—
(a) provide that the reduced pollution requirements are those to be satisfied by eligible vehicles which are registered before 1st October 2006, define "registered" and make consequential amendments (regulations 3 and 4);
(b) provide that a reduced pollution certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the reduced pollution requirements are satisfied by an eligible vehicle if it is registered (regulation 5); and
(c) provide that, upon the determination of whether the licence applied for on a first application for such is appropriate, the Secretary of State shall revoke and cancel a certificate which has been furnished if satisfied that the vehicle is not an eligible vehicle which satisfies the reduced pollution requirements (regulations 6 and 7).
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business, charities, voluntary bodies or the private sector.
