“Ukrainian carriers have been waiting for this for almost five years. We agreed on the final draft of the Special Agreement on the liberalization of road transport with the delegation of the European Commission. In short, for carriers, the signing of this Agreement will be as important as the cancellation of visas with EU countries.”
He further claimed that the EU had become Ukraine’s most important trading partner over the last five years.
“In the last three months, due to the blocking of Ukrainian ports, the amount of trade with the EU by road transport has increased several times. To be clear, only car fuel was imported fifteen times more than in pre-war times.”
“A couple of weeks ago, we received an official letter from the Ministry of Infrastructure of the Republic of Poland with the full support of the conclusion of the Special Agreement on Liberalization of Road Transport Ukraine – EU.”
He noted that after the signing of the Agreement on Transport Liberalization, the problem of lack of permits for international transportation will be finally resolved. The document will be signed by the end of this month.
