<h1>Fuel ban on overage vehicles paused pending ANPR system readiness and coordinated regional implementation to ensure enforceability.</h1> The Commission deferred enforcement of the refuelling prohibition on overage vehicles until the ANPR-based identification and enforcement system is operational and coordinated with adjoining high-vehicle-density districts. The deferment responds to technical defects in ANPR deployment, incomplete integration with neighbouring vehicle databases, and legal and fairness concerns about applying an age-based ban within a single jurisdiction without assessing vehicle fitness or ensuring cross-border compatibility. Phased implementation will proceed only after trial runs and remedial measures address these operational and legal issues.
