The EU has simplified the rules: what will now change for drivers from Ukraine

Ukraine and the EU exempt holders of driving licenses issued by one of the parties from the requirement to have an international driving licence.

This became possible after both sides signed an agreement on “transport visa-free travel” on June 29.

Thus, all EU countries will now recognize Ukrainian-style driving licenses without restrictions. And this means that Ukrainians will not need to take additional exams or change their driver’s license.

According to officials, such a decision will help Ukrainian migrants who need a driver’s license to work in the EU.

Note that the term of the agreement on “transport visa-free” is 1 year with the possibility of extension, and temporarily entered into force on June 29. The agreement will start working on a permanent basis upon completion of all ratification procedures.

“Zero” customs clearance canceled

The Verkhovna Rada has returned duties and VAT on imported goods and customs clearance of cars from July 1. On June 30, the corresponding law was signed by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky.

Bill No. 7418 provides resumption of taxation for goods imported by single tax payers of the first, second and third groups; as well as for enterprises that do not pay import duties.
