The Regulation of the Land Transport Management Act, approved by Royal Decree 1211/1990 of 28 September 1990, was developed in the field of authorizations for the carriage of goods by road, by the Order of The Ministry of Public Works and Transport of 29 November 1991, which was subsequently amended, as regards the setting up of the corresponding guarantees concerning the authorisations, by the fourth additional provision of the Order of Ministry of Public Works and Transport of 27 March 1992.

The implementation of the measures that in the field of intervention and management are contained in the "Program of Measures for the Transport of Goods by Carretera>," reported favorably by the Commission Delegate The Government for Economic Affairs at its meeting of 30 July 1992 requires the introduction of certain amendments to the legal system set out in that order of 29 November 1991, which are intended, on the one hand, to provide for a greater flexibility in the system of validity of authorisations, by increasing the period in which they may be to be suspended at the will of the carrier without the loss of the carrier and, on the other hand, to facilitate the visa of the carrier, concentrating on a single act the company's visas and existing authorizations, establishing their periodicity every two years, and as far as possible, simplifying the actions to be carried out by the carrier.

Since these modifications affect the basic ends of the current regime, it has been considered appropriate to dictate a new provision that will develop the regulation in the field of transport authorizations Road freight in a complete and unitary way, so that it can be counted on a single standard which facilitates full knowledge of the current regime, rather than having to go to the study of various provisions dispersed and successively modified.
