Ukraine and Moldova canceled permits for international cargo transportation
Ukraine and Moldova canceled permits for international cargo transportation, from September 1, Ukrainian carriers will be able to travel to the Republic under new simplified rules.
After the signing of the "transport visa-free" with the countries of the European Union, Moldova remained the only state on the Ukrainian borders with which the permit regime for Ukrainian carriers was not completely canceled.
MIU noted that considering the large volume of cargo that is currently moving towards Moldova, the signing of the bilateral protocol will remove the risk of stopping the movement of Ukrainian exports.
The permit regime will be preserved for non-regular passenger transportation (next year, the parties will exchange 2,200 permits) and for transportation to or from third countries (Ukraine will receive 10,000 permits for 2023).
"Bilateral cancellation of permits for international cargo transportation, opening a few days ago of the railway section "Berezyne - Basarabyaska", which was not working but for more than 20 years - these are excellent examples of cooperation in the transport sector, strengthening of cooperation between Ukraine and Moldova. Now our task is to make the most of new opportunities to strengthen the economies of our countries in the face of threats posed by Russian military aggression and Russian policy in general," said Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov.
