Road transport industry makes a loud call in Moscow for true and quick response from the decision makers to solve problems in the BSEC region!
4 June 2008 - On the occasion of the 13th meeting of the BSEC-URTA General Assembly in Moscow, today, the road transport industry expressed big disappointment for slowness and invisible reluctance in the air to work really together in order to respond to urgent needs of the profession around the Black Sea basin!
Adopting four Resolutions, unanimously, the BSEC-URTA General Assembly appealed with single voice to the BSEC Member States, the UNECE and the IRU to:-
- open to signature the BSEC Agreement on Simplification of Visa Procedures for Professional Lorry Drivers Nationals of the BSEC Member States as soon as possible (read the Resolution),
- conduct an expert study and evaluate its conclusions at a high level public-private BSEC Round Table, on alternative priority ways, methods and projects how to implement actually the BSEC MoU on Facilitation of Road Transport of Goods in the BSEC Region (read the Resolution),
- convene UNECE SC.3 in order to put in place the new Annex 8 to the International Agreement on Harmonisation of Frontier Controls of Goods as soon as possible and start its immediate implementation in the BSEC region (read the Resolution),
- re-schedule and prepare better for implementation of digital tachograph in non-EU Contracting Parties to the AETR but prevent in any case, the direct introduction of the EU acquis in the AETR in contradiction with its amendment rules (read the Resolution).
