By the end of February, Poland and Ukraine are to reach agreement on trucking permits and rail freight, their infrastructure ministers promise. On Thursday, Volodymyr Omelyan met in Kyiv with his Polish counterpart, Andrzej Adamczyk. With trade booming, Ukraine wants Poland to raise its truck permits from the current level of 165,000 for 2019. As Polish truckers are not interested in cross-border work, the two sides agreed to open Ukrainian rail infrastructure projects to Polish investors. One project would be the construction of a multi-modal ‘dry port’ in Kovel, a rail hub in Volyn region, 90 km east of Chelm, Poland.
