Polish authorities finally respond to the blockade of the Ukrainian-Polish border by carriers
The Minister of Infrastructure of Poland asked the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine to cancel the registration of vehicles returning from Ukraine to the EU in the eCheck system
On Monday, November 27, the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland announced that it had addressed Ukraine with a proposal to resolve the blockade on the border organized by Polish pepe carriers, which has been going on for three weeks.

According to the Ministry of Infrastructure of Poland, Minister of Infrastructure Andrzej Adamczyk appealed to Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov with a request to cancel the mandatory registration in the eCheck system for vehicles returning from Ukraine to the EU and unloaded at the Zosin-Ustyluh and Nyzhankovychi-Malchowice border crossings.
"This has led to a significant increase in waiting time for EU-registered vehicles returning from Ukraine without cargo to cross the Ukrainian-European border," Adamczyk explained.
He added that, according to the protesters, this system "allows for unequal treatment of Ukrainian and Polish carriers."
The head of Poland's Ministry of Infrastructure also asked EU Commissioner for Transport Adina Valean to set up a joint committee to analyze the impact of the agreement on liberalization of transport with Ukraine (transport visa-free regime) on the EU road transport market.
As a reminder, the abolition of this agreement is the main demand of the Polish protesters.
As reported, the number of trucks in queues at the Ukrainian-Polish border has increased to 11,000 vehicles on both sides. Most drivers were stuck at the Dorohusk-Yagodyn checkpoint.
Two Ukrainian drivers have already died in the queues at the border since the start of the unjustified protest. After the death of the second driver, Ukraine sent an official note to Poland.
