THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 of 20 December 1985 on the harmonization of certain social legislation relating to road transport (1), and in particular Article 13 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 of 20 December 1985 on recording equipement in road transport (2), and in particular Article 3 (3) thereof,
Whereas on 25 October 1993 the United Kingdom Government sent the Commission a letter requesting it to authorize it to exempt vehicles used within the boundaries of airports from the application of the provisions of Regulations (EEC) No 3820/85 and  (EEC) No 3821/85;
Whereas the vehicles concerned are, in view of their type of construction and fittings, intended specifically for airport operations; whereas they are driven exclusively within the perimeters of airports and are not allowed under any circumstances to  travel on public highways outside airports; whereas they may travel on roads situated within the boundaries of airports which, under certain conditions, are accessible to the public;
Whereas the Commission is of the opinion that such transport operations are carried out in exceptional circumstances within the meaning of Article 13 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 3820/85 and Article 3 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85; whereas this  exemption will not seriously jeopardize the objectives of the two Regulations,
