Latvia, Russia agree on exchange of additional 3,000 universal permits for truckers
Latvia and Russia this year will exchange in total 7,000 universal permits
for international cargo transportation, which is the largest number of universal
permits in the past 15 years, said Plone.
This week a transport work group of the Latvian-Russian Intergovernmental
Commission met in Riga and both countries agreed on exchange of additional
3,000 universal permits for bilateral, transit and third country cargo
transportation. So this year 7,000 universal permits and 100,000 permits for
bilateral and transit transportation are available.
In 2016 Latvia and Russia exchanged 4,000 universal permits and 100,000
permits for bilateral and transit transportation, while in 2015 these numbers
were 2,500 and 95,000 respectively.
