The Community Drivers’ Hours and Working Time (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) (Temporary Exception) (Amendment) Regulations 2007
The Community Drivers’ Hours and Working Time (Foot-and-Mouth Disease) (Temporary Exception) Regulations 2007 (“the Principal Regulations”) temporarily relax certain rules in relation to drivers’ hours and working time. These relaxations allow the driving of goods vehicles for longer periods than would normally be allowed. They apply only for the purpose of moving pigs, cattle or sheep to meet or alleviate the effects of the exceptional circumstances arising in consequence of restrictions on the movement of those animals imposed as a result of the outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease in Great Britain.
