In a significant development, the agreement between Germany and Mongolia is set to overhaul the framework for road freight transport, streamlining the process for Mongolian and German companies. Previously, special permits were necessary for transportation to and through each country, but under the new terms, logistics firms will be granted licenses directly within their respective nations.
Notably, the agreement outlines exceptions to the authorization requirement, particularly for the transport of critical items like medicines and emergency aid goods. Additionally, it establishes regulations for drivers, including mandatory documentation and adherence to specific rules regarding driving times and rest periods.
