BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 25. The recent meeting
of the Mixed Commission on International Road Transport was held in
Azerbaijan’s Baku on April 23-24, Trend reports, citing the Azerbaijan Land
Transport Agency.
The meeting focused on the current state of international
freight transport between the two countries, the issues in this
field, and solutions to address them.
“To enhance the participation of carriers from both countries in
international freight transport, an agreement was reached to double
the annual quota for ‘permit’ forms on a bilateral basis.
Additionally, a new type of permit form was added to the existing
list – the bilateral/transit/third-country/entry form. As a result,
an agreement was reached to exchange one thousand bilateral/transit
permits and 300 bilateral/transit/third-country permits with
Latvia.
Furthermore, the Azerbaijani delegation introduced the
‘e-Permit’ system, which has been successfully used between
Azerbaijan, Türkiye, and Uzbekistan, enabling the exchange and
issuance of permits in electronic format. Interest was expressed in
establishing a similar electronic exchange system with Latvia
soon.
In addition, the Latvian delegation was briefed on the
theoretical and practical training process for drivers at the
Driver Training Center of the Azerbaijan Land Transport Agency,”
the statement said.
