Ukraine temporarily halts cargo traffic with Turkey

The Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry has imposed restrictions on execution and issue of bilateral permits for cargo transportation by Turkish and Ukrainian motor carriers until September 30, 2016, the press service of the Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry reports.

The relevant decision was adopted at a meeting of the ministry's commission on execution, issue, registration and performance efficiency analysis of permits.

A reminder that the Turkish side denied Ukraine's proposal to increase the number of cargo-carrying operations between Ukraine and Turkey at a meeting of the bilateral commission on motor transportation in July 2016. The Ukrainian Infrastructure Ministry promised to take appropriate measures.
