This Regulation applies to controls performed by Member States pursuant to Community or national law in the fields of road and inland waterway transport carried out using means of transport registered or put into circulation in a Member State.

For the purpose of this Regulation: (a) frontier means either an internal frontier within the Community or an external frontier, where carriage between Member States involves crossing a third country; (b) control means any check, inspection, verification or formality performed at the frontiers of Member States by the national authorities which signifies a stop or a restriction on the free movement of the vehicles or vessels concerned.

The controls referred to in Annex I, and performed pursuant to Community or national law in the fields of road and inland waterway transport between Member States, shall not be performed as frontier controls but solely as part of the normal control procedures applied in a non-discriminatory fashion throughout the territory of a Member State.

As and when necessary, the Commission shall propose amendments to Annex I to take account of technological developments in the field covered by this Regulation.

Regulation (EEC) No 4060/89, as amended by the Regulation listed in Annex II, is repealed. References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation and shall be read in accordance with the correlation table in Annex III.

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
