EU to introduce exemptions allowing UK event hauliers to Continue providing transport for Music and Event equipment. Exempting them from cabotage rules (only being able to make two stops), having to return the drivers to the UK early and from cross trade rules providing the equipment is on carnet

More details

It is essential to the UK events industry and their UK suppliers to be able to move their equipment freely, using the specialist hauliers and drivers, without hindrance. The EU always puts great emphasis on cultural activities so we ask they help us protect and promote our own culture.
