Freight Traffic Between Russia and Poland May be Suspended

Freight traffic between Russia and Poland may be suspended due to  Poland refusal to follow new Russian regulations, Russia’s Transport Ministry declared on Friday, the Interfax news agency reported.

The new regulations according to the ministry are aimed at tighter control on Russian permits issued for motor transportation of goods from other countries but Polish officials insist the regulations imply a higher level of state control over freight traffic.

The ministry points out that Poland hasn’t offered any solution to the problem other than demanding that the federal law be changed, Interfax reported.

In 2014 a law was passed in Russia introducing stricter registration rules for international freight traffic.
