BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan, December 16. The Ministry
of Transport and Communications of Kyrgyzstan has completed the
procedures for joining the multilateral permit system of the
Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia (TRACECA), Trend reports via the
Ministry of Transport and Communications of the Kyrgyz
Republic.
The TRACECA permit grants the carrier, to whom it is issued, the
right to carry out transportation across the territories of all
participating countries in the TRACECA Permit System, along the
specified route, and exempts the carrier from the need to obtain
permits required by bilateral agreements on international road
transport between the respective countries participating in the
TRACECA Permit System.
This is a one-time use permit (intended for single use) and
grants the right to carry out a trip with or without cargo, in both
directions, during one round trip. At the same time, the number of
entries into any participating country in the TRACECA Permit System
should not exceed two times.
The TRACECA permit is universal and can be used for bilateral,
transit, and transportation to/from third countries, as well as for
their combination.
Now, international road carriers from Kyrgyzstan will have an
additional opportunity to transport goods in transit, for bilateral
transport, and to/from Armenia, Georgia, Moldova, Romania, Türkiye,
and Ukraine using the single multilateral TRACECA permit.
This will create favorable conditions for international carriers
from the Kyrgyz Republic, facilitate the access of Kyrgyz goods to
European, Turkish, and Black Sea region markets, and enhance export
competitiveness by reducing transport costs and delivery times.
