There are currently 3,885 licensed road haulage operators, 2,450 of whom hold a Community licence allowing them to operate in and between EU Member States. Revenue is the organisation responsible for authorising AEO status and I am informed by Revenue that of the 146 economic operators in Ireland who currently hold AEO status, 64 are engaged in freight forwarding, transport and related businesses.
