Poland is studying the possibility of creating an experimental checkpoint that would speed up the passage of trucks by joint cargo control by Polish and Ukrainian border guards, said Grzegorz Ostasz, a board member of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIT), during a conference on the development of transport communication between Ukraine and Poland.
“Poland has become a hub for the supply of important goods for Ukraine. The authorities can increase the capacity of border crossings. We proposed such a solution – to make an experimental checkpoint at which Polish and Ukrainian border guards would jointly check trucks,” the PAIT press service quoted Ostash in a release to Interfax-Ukraine on Tuesday.
According to Ostash, 870 Polish companies now do business in Ukraine, and Poland is interested in developing cooperation with Ukrainian business. “We are collecting suggestions and comments from Polish business on how we could simplify doing business in Ukraine. All proposals will be transmitted to the Ukrainian authorities by the government commissioner for the development of Polish-Ukrainian cooperation Jadwiga Emilewicz,” said Ostash.
According to a press release PAIT, the agency created a register of Polish companies that plan to enter the Ukrainian market and participate in programs to restore the country – today more than 2500 companies and organizations have expressed interest in cooperation with Ukrainian business.
