SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS
SOLUTION:
Transport permit quotas are insufficient compared to the increase in transit, bilateral and third country transport operations.
Permit quotas for Turkish trucks ( especially free of charge and 3rd country permits) should be increased …
43
SITUATION IN
TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS
Quotas allocated to Hungarian trucks are more than the required number. There are 13 thousand free of charge bilateral / transit and 6250 third country permits allocated in return for 3-4 thousand trips. Hungarian trucks will not be affected even if payable permits are not sent to Hungary.

INSUFFICIENCY OF PERMIT QUOTAS
The last Turkish-Hungarian Joint Transport Commission meeting was held on 3 October 2006 in Budapest:
There was no increase in transport permit quotas, the Hungarian side did not accept the Turkish request for an
increase in the number free of charge permits.
Turkish side suggested amending the current 3 to 1 bonus scheme as 1 to 1 bonus scheme granted in return for train usage similar to the bonus scheme in Austria.
Hungarian side rejected any amendment in the bonus scheme.
