A digital permit system for road freight transportation between Georgia and Türkiye has been launched be the Land Transport Agency.
According to the agency, international freight carriers operating between the two countries can obtain and use transport permits entirely in digital format.
As officials note, the system will simplify administrative procedures and reduce the use of paper documents. It will also improve the efficiency of international cargo transportation and speed up the issuance and verification of permits.
According to Bakur Mikadze, Director of the Land Transport Agency, the digital permit system is based on a bilateral principle. It means that both countries use a single electronic platform for the exchange and registration of permit documents. He added that this new mechanism ensures fast and secure data exchange, reduces technical and administrative delays. It also makes administering international road freight transportation more transparent and modern.
As the agency says, the introduction of digital permit mechanism is an important step in the development of international road freight transportation. The successful implementation of the electronic ECMT (European Conference of Ministers of Transport) multilateral permit system is also a crucial point.
