The Ministry of Reconstruction changes the rules for sealing wagons

The Ministry of Communities, Territories and Infrastructure Development of Ukraine is changing the rules for sealing wagons and containers.

The draft order was developed to update the rules for the use of locking and sealing devices , the Ministry of Reconstruction reported.

Changes to the Rules for Sealing Wagons and Containers will provide for the exclusion of outdated bureaucratic, duplicative functions, as well as post-Soviet norms that have lost their relevance.

Also, the draft act ensures the creation of conditions for equal access and liberalization of the market for the manufacture of sealing devices, seals and vices in the field of railway transport, as well as the exclusion of providing the carrier with functions related to the issuance of documents that have signs of arbitrary character.

The draft act proposes to bring Ukraine’s regulatory framework in the field of sealing wagons and containers closer to EU legislation.

Previously, USM reported that the flow of wagons with grain cargoes was reoriented from the western borders to the direction of the seaports of Great Odesa.
