  1. JACK CHAMBERS, Minister for State at the Department of Transport. EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Instrument and does not purport to be a legal interpretation.) These Regulations amend the Road Traffic (Licensing of Trailers and Semi-Trailers) Regulations, 1982 ( S.I. No. 35 of 1982 ). The 1982 Regulations provide for a system of annual licensing of trailers and semi-trailers in Ireland with a maximum permissible weight exceeding 3,500 kgs. The 1982 Regulations, as amended by S.I. 399 of 2012, are now amended to update references to related legislation. These Regulations remove outdated references to type-approval requirements in the trailer licensing regime under Directive 2007/46/EC to instead refer to Regulation (EU) 2018/
