Poland after the unblocking of checkpoints accepts less trucks from Ukraine than declared in the memorandum. This was stated by the Vice-President of the Association of international road carriers of Ukraine Volodymyr Balin on air of TV channel “Rada”.
“All checkpoints are working, but, unfortunately, not in the mode that we have declared in the memorandum. For example, the point “Dorohusk” should accept 600 cars per day in both directions, there was an agreement about 680, in a day a little more than 500 cars were accepted. If we talk about “Rawa-Russka”, it accepted somewhere 150 cars for export, although the possibility – 300, and “Krakovec” – somewhere 200, although the possibility – 500. So it’s not enough,” said Vladimir Balin.
He specified that a similar situation was observed at checkpoints for three months before the strike of Polish carriers. These checkpoints were taking 50-60% of the capacity.
“We hope that Polish border guards simply have not entered the rhythm yet. But if the situation does not change, we will inform the competent authorities”, – explained the Vice-President of the Association of international road carriers of Ukraine.
Earlier, former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that Warsaw would demand that the European Union return the need for Ukrainian hauliers to obtain a permit to enter Europe.
