From the minute the control of papers on the Polish-Ukrainian border began, different events began to take place. – These transports immediately appeared much less. It is the drivers themselves, Ukrainian companies themselves who deceive their country and each another said 1 of the protesters.
A press conference, with the participation of Deputy talker of the Parliament Krzysztof Bosak and protestors of carriers, took place before the European Commission's representation in Poland. The choice of place is not accidental due to the fact that present there is simply a Council of the European Union gathering on transport issues.
– The Confederation and the organisations of protesting carriers request that the Polish government appoint the Council of the European Union for transport to declare an unfavourable agreement between Ukraine and the European Union, which has destabilised completely the EU and so the Polish transport market. It has led to its gradual acquisition by Ukrainian carriers, eliminating the licensing strategy governing the economical relations of Poland and Ukraine said Bosak.
– We are here due to the fact that we anticipate the Polish government to yet start representing Poles. Not any utopian global doctrine, not any transnational interests, but those who make national income in Poland, those who make companies in Poland, those who make jobs in Poland. present the government of Mateusz Morawiecki has the last chance to show assertiveness. After more than a year of giving Polish interests, after many situations, erstwhile he took a step backwards, he gave up these Polish interests, gave up the Polish market – continued the Confederate MP.
He recalled that another protest by Polish carriers has been taking place for almost a month. – Borders are blocked in defence of their own interests by Polish entrepreneurs. It's an unprecedented mobilization that deserves to be commended due to the fact that individual yet moved to defend their interests. Congratulations! – ended Bosak.
Postulates carried out in a sleek, crippled way. "We knew how to do this long before the EU"
Rafał Mekler, 1 of the main participants of the protest included by the Ukrainian terrorist organization on the list of “enemies of Ukraine”, noted that “the Ukrainian side has taken an initiative with the Polish side to mitigate tensions in this conflict”.
– We found out that a border crossing was opened in Dołhobyczów. This is simply a gateway for all vehicles. However, we wanted to leave 1 or 2 passages only for empty vehicles, EU vehicles, that is, by definition, returning from Ukraine with humanitarian aid, due to the fact that we know that besides abroad vehicles, namely Danish, German, French, Swedish carriers, must stand in these long-term queues on return from Ukraine. We have called for this border to be (open) only for EU vehicles, so that this humanitarian aid can hit faster so that these vehicles can return faster to the Union. Unfortunately, our proposals, our demands, are carried out in a sleek way, in a crippled way, in a way contrary to what we demand – he said.
He recalled that Polish carriers are demanding first of all the restoration of the authorisation system.
– We request this because, as we have said many times, there is simply a immense imbalance in the burden of labour costs between Poland and Ukraine. We are dealing with a immense injustice that meets Polish carriers at this point and we argue it – stressed Mekler.
He said that in the absence of appropriate action on the part of the European Union, if "no steps are taken in our direction in any way", the protesters would request that the Polish government "unilaterally concluded an agreement which exempted the Ukrainian side from having to possess
– Please note that there is now specified a trend that the Union has become specified an overpowering force that determines everything that is happening in the EU. An example of permits shows the failure of this policy. If the issue of permits were left to national countries, specified as the Polish state, Slovakia – I remind you that in Slovakia besides the carriers are protesting – we would not have this problem today, due to the fact that as Poles, we know very well how to implement these agreements in the field of transport. We haven't done this since yesterday. We did this before we were in the European Union. I would like to remind you that the agreement with Ukraine, which is now referred to, was concluded in 1992, later updated. Long before the European Union, we knew how to regulate transport relations between our countries – summarized Mekler.
Jacek Sokół of the Committee on Defence of Carriers and Employers of Transport said that protesters are accused of stopping transport with humanitarian aid, fresh products or military weapons. He stressed that there were no restrictions on the part of the protesters.
– The police are telling us that it's the drivers themselves who are standing in parking lots blocking those cars that are entitled to advance entry. We have no control over that. We don't go to the parking lot, we don't decide which cars leave. It was the drivers themselves who created, you could say, the kind in quotes of the mob in the parking lot that decides who erstwhile they enter. There's no lock on our side. – stressed.
He besides revealed that the National taxation Administration, liable for paper control, has been present at the border since Thursday. Since then there have been different situations at the border.
– Look, there are abruptly a lot little humanitarian cars since Thursday, due to the fact that Ukrainian drivers have informed their bosses that papers will be verified and criminal cases will most likely be filed, due to the fact that the forgery of papers is punishable. These transports immediately appeared much less. See, it's the drivers themselves, the Ukrainian companies themselves who cheat their country and each other. Who is entitled to pass and who is not – concluded Sokol.
From
Border checks origin a abrupt simplification in transport with "humanitarian aid". It comes out as the Ukrainians are plotting:
