These Regulations amend the Road Transport (International Passenger Services) Regulations 1984 so as to implement with respect to Great Britain and in relation to the transport of passengers the provisions of the agreement between the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union concerning international road transport signed on the 22nd January 1988 (Cmd. 421.). This agreement comes into force on a date to be notified in the London Gazette.

S.I. 1984/748.
