(1) The Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the other part (the Trade and Cooperation Agreement), was concluded by the Union by Council Decision (EU) 2021/689Council Decision (EU) 2021/689 of 29 April 2021 on the conclusion, on behalf of the Union, of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement between the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, of the one part, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, of the other part, and of the Agreement between the European Union and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning security procedures for exchanging and protecting classified information (OJ L 149, 30.4.2021, p. 2 , ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dec/2021/689/oj). and entered into force on 1 May 2021 .

(2) Article 6, Section 1, Part A of Annex 31 to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement lays down detailed conditions relating to the requirement of good repute for a road haulage operator. In particular, paragraphs 2 and 3 of that Article lay down the conditions in which infringements listed in point (b) of paragraph 1 of that Article incurred by an operator may lead to an administrative procedure by the competent authorities in the Party of establishment, and may lead to the loss of good repute. Appendix 31-A-1-1 to Annex 31 further lays down a list of the seven most serious infringements. Where an operator has incurred a penalty for one of these infringements, the competent authority in the Party of establishment is to carry out and complete an administrative procedure.

(3) Pursuant to Article 6(3), Section 1, Part A of Annex 31 to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the Specialised Committee on Road Transport, established by Article 8(1), point (o), of that Agreement (the Specialised Committee on Road Transport), is empowered to adopt a decision regarding a list of categories, types and degrees of seriousness of serious infringements which, in addition to those set out in Appendix 31-A-1-1, may lead to the loss of good repute.

(4) A common list of infringements of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement or of Union or national law relating to the matters listed in point (b) of Article 6(1), Section 1, Part A of Annex 31 to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement can enhance the implementation of the Trade and Cooperation Agreement in the road haulage sector. Therefore, pursuant to Article 6(3), Section 1, Part A of Annex 31 to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, the Specialised Committee on Road Transport should adopt a decision regarding such a list.

(5) It is appropriate to establish the position to be taken on the Union’s behalf within the Specialised Committee on Road Transport, as the envisaged act will be binding on the Union.

(6) National legal frameworks may need to be adapted to cater for the introduction of the additional serious infringements contained in the draft decision of the Specialised Committee on Road Transport attached to this Decision. Furthermore, in order to allow both Parties to agree and set up the modalities of the exchange of information relating to serious infringements committed in the Party other than the Party of establishment in accordance with Article 14(5), Section 1, Part A of Annex 31 to the Trade and Cooperation Agreement, it is appropriate to establish a date of application of the envisaged act. Hence, the Decision of the Specialised Committee on Road Transport should apply from 1 December 2025 .

(7) The position of the Union within the Specialised Committee on Road Transport should therefore be based on the draft Decision of that Committee attached to this Decision,

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
