The Carnet man at the RAC has said to me this morning "RAC have no plans to change the price mechanisms of the Carnet documents at this time".

So, no movement, means I've gone ahead and applied under the current pricing structures I'd be interested to see what, if anything, the Canadian announcement, that says a centralised European authority will be in place by the 3rd quarter of 2015, will mean for future travellers.

Hi,
I travelled 2002 - 2005 with two Carnet de Passage across Asia and India - two carnets, because after only 3 days I had a crash in Latvia with a drunken car driver (after midnight): broken legs, 7 months rehabilitation and then buy one more BMW R 80 GS, and of course one more Carnet.
Only in India I had problems with the custom - not for come into the country from China / Nepal, but only to get out to Pakistan across Wagah-border (Arimtsar / Lahore); there they have a very properly border procedure, even with daily parades, no exeptions possible:
They did not want to let me out of India, because my carnet was valid only one year, but my second start to travel (with a fine new Carnet) was in January 2003, 3 1/2 years before.
I told the custom officers, that of course this Carnet is still guilty, because I must bring back this "old" Carnet with a EU-custom stamp and only then I will get back my 3000 €. All my trying (also offering some money) did not help, I had to let back my bike in India - where it is standing and waiting for me until today!!
And back home in Germany, of course I did not get back my deposit money from the german auto-club ADAC - I had to wait and write and wait, etc. until 2013, then finally I got my money back, 14 years after I made the deposit of 3000 € to the ADAC (of course with no interest money!!)
Therefore never again with Carnet!! - also because I am no longer inhabitant of any country; I am a traveller for the coming ten years; the world is my home (and the roads and garages!).

Slow progress on the Carnet issues but they are working on it, I am planning on having another call next week to discuss the progress and potential solutions:

The FIA has raised these issues with our member, RAC Motoring and Services. We have discussed a number of options with the RAC and I understand that these are under active consideration.

I should also note that we are reviewing aspects of the AIT/FIA Guarantee in an effort to ensure that it is not misinterpreted and that it appropriately reflects the FIA’s objectives to facilitate the movement of motor vehicles internationally.

Thanks for your hard work on this issue Martin. The Change.org page asks for examples of being refused a letter of non objection, I quoted mine a few pages ago http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...1-9#post491951 The email was sent Jan 10th

In my own situation, I've had to go ahead with the RAC, sent them the princely sum of £3220 on Thursday
