The EC has proposed that protesters pay compensation for their harmful decisions from the Polish budget

In the course of discussions with the protestors of Polish carriers, representatives of the European Commission (EC) made respective proposals to address the situation. 1 of the ideas was that due to the losses incurred as a consequence of the abolition of the strategy of permits for Ukrainian drivers, compensation for Poles was paid from the Polish budget.

During the Tuesday talks between representatives of the European Commission and the protestors at the Polish border, Brussels presented 10 points which were intended to supply a basis for resolving the current situation. According to a study by 1 of the organisers of the protest, Rafał Mekler, who is besides a Confederate and National Movement activist, these proposals aimed at uncovering a compromise and settling the dispute.

"We are after another online connection with representatives of the European Commission. We have been presented with 10 points which the EU organization would like to base the truce in the dispute between Polish carriers-UA/EU. Most of these are old proposals already heard from the Ukrainian side, which make little, and were actually a repetition of what we heard earlier." – wrote Mekler.

According to his assessment, the suggested changes are practically only "cosmetic". His explanation was that "what will increase the number of lanes at the border crossing point erstwhile they lead to a narrow bridge on the Bug anyway?". He besides questioned the point of the proposal to make a separate queue for empty vehicles, noting that specified an option already exists in Nijankowice and the Hug.

In its communication, Mekler pointed out that it was fresh to present possible compensation for losses related to the exemption of Ukraine from the authorisation system. However, he stressed that no 1 questioned the fact of the losses suffered.

‘It is noted that these compensations should be paid from national funds. The Polish payer is to pay for the Polish transport, due to the fact that this 1 bears losses, where the final beneficiary is simply a abroad state!" – said the protest coordinator.

"There is no consent! We want approval and borders without Ukrainian eco-scan! We are inactive standing" He summarized.

It must be firmly noted to the Ukrainians that they will either end discrimination against Polish transport or we will argue your membership in the European Union," said Marek Sawicki, PSL MP and elder marshal. According to information from Ukrainian media, protestors of Polish carriers are accused of being active with Russia, suggesting even possible engagement of Russian intelligence services in blocking Ukraine's borders. These claims, presented propagandaally, besides afraid the organizer of the carrier protest, the Confederacy policy and the All Poland Youth. These accusations were repeated by various Ukrainian media.

The Ukrainian side suggested that the blockade affects the inability to deliver trucks with humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine. Mer Lviv, Andry Sadowy, claimed that the actions of protesting carriers endanger the support of Ukraine, which defends its independency and safety of Europe. Polish carriers denied these accusations, stressing that vehicles with specified equipment are being passed through. Polish aid organizations have besides denied these reports.

Platform X (formerly Twitter) added annotation to Sadowy entries, informing that humanitarian aid is not blocked at the Polish border, but any of it does not scope the army due to corruption in Ukraine.

Attention was paid to the ongoing run to discredit the protest of carriers besides in Polish media. any journalists, analogous to Ukrainian colleagues, attack protest organizers and Confederate politicians who support the strike.

The protest of Polish carriers on the border with Ukraine lasts from 6 November. Representatives of the manufacture block border crossings in Lublin and Podkarpackie voivodships. Blocking access roads to border crossings with Ukraine is linked to the liberalisation of global transport rules in the EU. Transporters request that the strategy of transport licences for Ukrainian carriers be restored and their number reduced to pre-Russian invasion of Ukraine (200 000 per year). They besides require tightening the rules for the transport of ECMT, introducing a separate queue for vehicles registered in the EU and separate for empty trucks (now waiting 10-12 days).
