Prime Minister Dimitar Glavchev created a working group with the task of proposing a permanent solution to the problem of buffer parking for heavy goods vehicles at border checkpoints.
The aim is to take urgent measures to ease the traffic, to reduce the waiting time as much as possible, to ensure equality of cargo vehicles and predictability in the process of their processing. Within the framework of the working group, the possibilities for the state to fully take over the management of the buffer parking lots, which as adjacent infrastructure are also related to border control, will be considered. This was announced by the press center of the Council of Ministers.
By the end of September, the working group will provide the results of its activities and the performed inspections. They started already on Thursday by order of the Prime Minister. NRA officials checked the buffer parking lots for heavy goods vehicles located in front of the Lesovo, Kapitan Andreevo, Ruse and Vidin border checkpoints. No violations were detected by the NRA. The results of the DANS inspection, which was also ordered by the Prime Minister, are about to become clear.
The working group will also monitor the development of the topic under the line of the Commission for the Protection of Competition, which in March of this year self-referred to the existence of violations of antitrust legislation in connection with the management of the buffer parking, located in the immediate vicinity of the Danube border crossing bridge’.
The working group will be led by the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Lyudmila Petkova and will be attended by the Ministers of Regional Development and Public Works Violeta Koritarova, Ministers of Transport and Communications Krasimira Stoyanova, Ministers of Agriculture and Food Georgi Takhov, Executive Directors of the National Revenue Agency Rumen Spetsov, of the “Customs” Agency Georgi Dimov and of the Main Directorate “Border Police” at the Ministry of Internal Affairs Anton Zlatanov, and Dr. Svetlozar Patarinski – executive director of the Bulgarian Food Safety Agency.
