The European Parliament has approved road transport agreements with Ukraine and Moldova.

  The European Parliament’s Committee on Transport and Tourism has approved two separate agreements with Ukraine and Moldova, which should simplify cross-border transportation of goods. The new EU agreements on road transport with Ukraine and Moldova will replace the current bilateral agreements with the EU countries. They will also temporarily facilitate road freight transport, allowing carriers of Ukraine, Moldova, and the EU to carry out mutual transit and operate without the need for relevant permits. The European Parliament also emphasized that these two agreements are part of the EU’s response to the disruptions in the transport sector in Ukraine and Moldova caused by the war.
