In particular, the recommendations state::

• The registration of freight vehicles drivers for border crossing on the roads of the Trans-European Transport Networks, including any checks and health screening, should not take more than 15 minutes.;
• During customs clearance, drivers may not leave the cabins of their vehicles, including when filling out forms and blanks, and the receipt, inspection and return of paper documents by national control officials should be carried out at a minimum safe distance;
• Waiting time and unhampered movement should be provided to representatives of all carrier companies: drivers, machinists, pilots and their crews, on conditions that none of them has symptoms of illness.

According to experts of the Reform Support Team at the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine, jointly ensuring the constancy of cargo movement, availability of goods and basic services within TEN-T, European countries create the necessary prerequisites for rapid overcoming of the negative consequences of the coronavirus pandemic for national economies and effective adaptation of international logistics to new realities.
