COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 3243/85
of 14 November 1985
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3164/76 on the Community quota for the carriage of goods by road between Member States
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community and in particular Article 75 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, by Regulation (EEC) No 3164/76 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3621/84 (5), the Council established a system of Community authorizations for the carriage of goods by road between Member States;
Whereas application of the abovementioned Regulation has revealed difficulties in the use of such authorizations in the case of certain coupled combinations of vehicles;
Whereas the system of issuing authorizations in respect of tractors has administrative, economic and legal advantages and should, in the light of experience, be extended to cover the use of coupled combinations of vehicles;
Whereas Community-level uniform rules for the issuing of such authorizations are needed;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 3164/76 should therefore be amended,
