This opinion was expressed by the First Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on on Transport and Infrastructure Yulia Klymenko during a briefing, reports correspondent of UNN.

Polish carriers have five main requirements and some of them can be met. requirements, I would say, can be fulfilled by the Ukrainian side. These are access to the system, return of empty European trucks without queuing. Unfortunately. the electronic queue and the Shlyakh system are not 100% transparent, which irritates our European partners... I believe that we can talk about any compromises in the "Shliakh" system, in the electronic queue, a separate line for European transport, but we cannot talk about one point - the return of permits for our carriers. for our carriers
