Reportedly, a meeting of the relevant commission will be held in August, which is expected to result in a further extension of the "transport visa-free regime" with Norway.
Liberalization of freight transportation is possible for vehicles with Euro 5 and higher environmental standards. When performing transportation on board a truck, drivers must have a certificate confirming the environmental class of the truck.
For the first time, the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure agreed with its Norwegian counterparts on a "transport visa-free regime" in August last year, for a period until June 30, 2024.
For reference
Ukrainian carriers have access to a "transport visa-free regime" with 37 countries, including the European Union. Over the past year, in addition to Norway, the Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure of Ukraine has managed to agree on freight liberalization with North Macedonia, Turkey, Moldova, Georgia and Montenegro.
