Minister to make border queues for trucks priced
29.06.2009 | Juhan Parts | English news
Last week Juhan Parts, the Minister of Economic Affairs and Communications introduces an idea at the government, according to which long queues in the border points would be replaced with paid booking, E24.ee reports.
Rasmus Ruuda, the PR-advisor at the Ministry said that first border point to get such an order would be Luhamaa. Things will change as soon as the parking lot will be ready-
"New order means that carrier may book border-crossing time before, cross it on agreed time and save time and money," Ruuda said.
Next it will be in Narva border point, but that assumes that a parking lot will be ready in Sillamäe. The parking lot will be built by the state and Port of Sillamäe.
The parking lots will be managed by a private company, but state supports construction process. Booking a border-crossing time is charged for the company.
