Slovakian-Ukrainian border to be also blocked

The Union of Road Hauliers of Slovakia (UNAS) has decided to block the Vysne Nemecke-Uzhhorod checkpoint on the border with Ukraine from 1 December. Source: European Pravda with reference to TASR Details: The decision to block the crossing point on the border with Ukraine was made by the UNAS Presidium after talks with the Slovak Ministry of Transport.

It is noted that the checkpoint will be blocked by carriers from 1 December at 15:00 "until further notice".

Reminder:

• This month, UNAS representatives have blocked the Vysne Nemecke border crossing point from the Slovak side for an hour, expressing solidarity with the Polish protesters. 
• They are demanding that Brussels reinstate the commercial permit system for transportation within the EU, as European companies cannot compete with them.

  This is the same thing that the protesters on the Polish-Ukrainian border are demanding.

• Polish hauliers began their protest on 6 November, demanding that the EU restore the permit system for Ukrainian drivers entering the European Union and for EU drivers entering Ukraine, with the exception of humanitarian aid and military cargo.
