MEPs approve EU road transport agreements with Ukraine and Moldova
According to the statement on the official website of the European Parliament, on 10.11.2022 European Parliament gave its green light to the EU agreements with Ukraine and Moldova to ease the cross-border transport of goods.
Noted that these agreements temporarily facilitate road freight transport, allowing Ukrainian, Moldovan and EU hauliers to transit through, and operate between, each other’s territories without the need for related permits.
In addition, the EU-Ukraine agreement will allow Ukrainian drivers to continue using their existing Ukrainian driving licences and certificates of professional competence to drive in the EU, without having to hold an international driving permit.
According to the statement of the EP rapporteur Marian-Jean Marinescu, thanks to these agreements, the level of exports and imports by road shall increase. Not only does this reduce the risk of a global food crisis, it is also a step toward further expansion of the transport relationship between EU and these countries.
Both agreements are provisionally in force since 29 June 2022.
