The Polish authorities will intensify truck inspections at the Polish-Ukrainian border in response to the demands of the transportation industry, and will also address the issue of unfair competition in the transportation sector at the EU level.
Polish services will strengthen control on the Polish-Ukrainian border. This is stated in a statement of the Ministry of Infrastructure of the Republic of Poland, UNN reports.

As the head of the ministry emphasized, the Polish government will also take measures in European institutions aimed at eliminating "unfair competition in the transport market."
