This was announced by Deputy Minister of Development of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Sergei Derkach, reacting to the ban on the passage of Ukrainian trucks from Poland and Poland from July 1.
Derkach noted that the agreement on liberalization of freight transportation between Ukraine and the EU entered into force on June 20, and a transition period is in effect until July 10, allowing carriers to adapt to the new rules. Therefore, no permits are needed.
The Polish side, primarily the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland, is aware of this. The Polish side, like all other EU member states, was notified through official channels about the renewal of the Agreement between Ukraine and the European Union.
So far, this is only a matter of internal communication on the Polish side. We have contacted the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure. Our colleagues assure us that they are trying to resolve the problem with the customs service.
We also informed the European Commission about the suspension of the passage of trucks. The EC has already intervened in the situation from its side and is trying to influence the solution of the problem, – Derkach said.
Since 00:00 on July 1, the Polish side has suspended entry and exit from/to the Republic of Poland of Ukrainian freight vehicles that do not have permits for international freight transport (ECMT permit or book) at checkpoints. Checkpoints on other sections of the border operate as usual.
