This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.
Key Points:
- Current Extension: The "transport visa-free" agreement with the EU has been extended until the end of June 2025.
- Future Plans: The Ukrainian government is working towards making this agreement indefinite, ensuring permanent liberalization of freight transportation between Ukraine and the EU.
- Benefits: The "transport visa-free" arrangement allows Ukrainian companies to transport goods to European markets without the need for special permits, saving time and money and increasing market access.
- Business Implications: Ukrainian transport companies and carriers are advised to prepare for the new EU requirements that may arise as part of this ongoing agreement.
This move is expected to further strengthen Ukraine's trade ties with the European Union, providing long-term stability and growth opportunities for Ukrainian businesses in European markets.
