REPUBLIC OF ESTONIA MINISTRY OF EcoNoMlc AFFAIRS AND COMMUNICATIONS Committee ofTransport Ministry of lndustry and Infrastructural Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan 32/1, Kabanbay Batyr Ave., Nur-Sultan Kazakhstan Our: 26.10.2022 N2 8-4/2022/S-/O —4 Dear colleagues The Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications of Estonia presents its compliments to the Ministry of lndustry and lnfrastructural Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan and has the honor to address with the following. It has come to our knowledge via communication from International Road Transport Union (IRU)that the Ministry of Industry and lnfrastructural Development of Kazakhstan has initiated new rules for Belarus and Russian drivers when performing transport of European goods to Kazakhstan from Belarus and Russian customs terminals. In particular, these drivers must have a Kazakhstan road transport permit from the initial European transport operator delivering these goods to the customs terminal. 1 would Iike to draw your attention to the fact that this kind of transport arrangement is not foreseen by existing Agreement on International Transport of Goods and Passengers concluded between the governments of Estonia and Kazakhstan and signed on 15.06.2000 in Astana. Moreover, according to Article 4, point 2 of the said Agreement and to the General Conditions of Kazakhstan road transport permits, handing over a transport permit to other transport operator is forbidden. Also, apart from direct violation of the Agreement refferred to above, this practice makes it almost impossible to later retain used permits from the oparator. Therefore 1 would like to ask you to deliver to us new bilateral permits that take into account these changed arrangements and allow us transport goods without violating the Agreement. This request also concerns permits to be exchanged for the 2023. Taking this opportunity, we express confidence in the further expansion of cooperation in the field of international road transport between our countries.
