Commenting on this, ESN MEP Siegbert Droese stated:
“We have proposed the following revisions to the agreement:
-Effective controls at Ukrainian border crossings and on major transport routes through a strong police presence.
Continuous inspection of the technical condition of incoming vehicles.
Digital monitoring must also be ensured through comprehensive electronic document verification.
It is crucial that the EU finally takes clear measures to prevent market distortions caused by mass imports from Ukraine and to ensure that Ukrainian trucks transport only civilian goods.
We therefore state clearly: The interest in road safety and the quality of goods must finally be safeguarded for German and European consumers!”
