The deadline to apply for a ECMT permit has now been extended until 11.59 pm on 18 January 2019.
ECMT permit application date extended
The deadline to apply for a European Conference of Ministers of Transport (ECMT) permit has now been extended until 11.59 pm on 18 January 2019.
ECMT permits will allow you to continue operating in the EU after March 2019 in the event of ‘no deal’.
The duty of a responsible government is to continue to prepare for a range of potential outcomes including a no deal scenario.
Short-term (monthly) permits
You will no longer be able to apply for a short-term permit (valid for 30 days). If you are unsuccessful in applying for an annual permit you'll be automatically considered for a short-term permit.
We’ll publish more information on short-term permits in early 2019.
European Commission proposals for continued road freight access
On 19 December 2018, the European Commission proposed steps to ensure that UK hauliers can continue carrying goods into the EU for a limited period after exiting in the event of no deal.
Until the detail of these proposals is agreed and adopted by the European Parliament and Council, businesses should continue with their contingency plans.
An ECMT permit will provide continued access to EU markets whatever the outcome of negotiations.
Read the Department for Transport's response to the proposals
Apply for a permit
Annual and short-term permits will be allocated for 2019 after the application period has ended at 11.59pm on 18 January 2019. They won’t be allocated on a first come first served basis.
