MINISTERS OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND MEETINGS OF MINISTERS OF TRANSPORT WITH REGARD
TO:
d/ State of affairs with regard to implementation of the Memorandum of
Understanding
on the Facilitation of Road Transport of Goods in the BSEC Region
27. The Working Group

to implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Facilitation of
Road Transport of Goods in the BSEC Region.
28. The Working Group

BSEC Headquarters on 27 November 2018 back-to-back with the Meeting of the Member
States participating in the project Permit System.
29. The BSEC-URTA
informed the Working Group about the resolutions of the 33rd and
34th Meetings of the BSEC-URTA General Assembly conveying the deep concern of
the business transport community with the enormous delays of commercial
vehicles, exceeding 12 hours,
at the borders of the BSEC Member States along the main transport corridors
connecting Europe
to the Middle East and the Central Asia.
30. Stressing that
insufficient infrastructure, inefficient procedures and lack of coordination
between border authorities at the adjacent borders is the result of increased
cost of the goods transported, the BSEC-URTA appealed to the BSEC Member States
for proper execution of the UNECE and WCO conventions, as well as the MoU on
the Facilitation of Road Transport of Goods in the BSEC Region, which are
efficient legal tools for facilitating trade and transportation in the BSEC
Region.
31. The Working Group
invited the BSEC Member States to give proper consideration of the resolutions
of the BSEC-URTA General Assembly at the mentioned Thirteenth Meeting of the
Steering Committee on Facilitation of Road Transport of Goods.
32. The BSEC-URTA
proposed to convene the next meeting of the Working Group on Transport back-to-back
with the Working Group on Customs in order to give the comprehensive
consideration of problems of road transport at border crossing points.
33. Furthermore, the
Working Group invited the BSEC Member States to timely update, whenever
necessary, information regarding their representatives in the Steering
Committee on Facilitation of Road Transport of Goods in order to secure its due
operation."
