ALMATY, Kazakhstan, June 25. In the near
future, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan will join the
electronic permit (e-Permit) system under TRACECA, Secretary
General Jasurbek Choriev said during the session “Seamless Eurasia:
Logistics Hub at the Crossroads of Continents” held within the
framework of the Annual Meeting and Business Forum of the bank,
Trend's special
correspondent reports from the event.
“We cooperate with international organizations such as the
United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) and UNICEF,
as well as with national structures of countries that have already
implemented digital solutions.
As an example, Uzbekistan has an electronic permit (e-Permit)
system in place. It is already used in cooperation with Türkiye and
Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan will join it
in the near future. This system effectively eliminates a
significant part of paper-based documentation, which remains a
serious issue,” he said.
Choriev noted that TRACECA is currently considering expanding
the solution to other countries as well, with the aim of fully
digitizing the permit issuance process.
“In practical terms, electronic permits are integrated into the
border control system. Carriers and freight forwarders crossing
borders will have all necessary permits in digital form, which will
help avoid waiting times and the need to submit additional
documents to transport authorities,” he said.
