  30. HARMONIZATION WITH THE EU TURKEY HAS BEEN PAYING CONSIDERABLE EFFORTS TO FULFILL HER OBLIGATIONS TOWARDS FULL MEMBERSHIP TO THE EUROPEAN UNION!

  31. EU ENLARGEMENT (May 2004 & January 2007) • A new front for Turkish hauliers ! • Advantage for 12 new EU members - low labor costs - no transport permit/visa problems - freight costs decreased by 25 % - right to carry out cabotage transport • Lucrative EU market ►New business opportunities • Increasing competition !

  32. PROBLEMS OF TURKISH HAULIERS • 60 % of Turkish exports flows to EU of which : • 90 % is carried by road • In last 3 years, Turkish exports ►increased by 50 % • In last 3 years, road transport operations to EU ► increased by 26% ►Increase in transport operations < increase in exports

  34. PROBLEMS OF TURKISH HAULIERS • EU-TURKEY CUSTOMS UNION since 1996 ► Free movement of goods • Article 28 and 29 of the Treaty establishing EEC • General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade - Article 5 ► Freedom of Transit

  37. SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS COMPARISON OF TRADE AND TRANSPORT GROWTH BETWEEN TURKEY AND HUNGARY 2002-2005 Between 2002-2005 Turkish exports to Hungary increase by 89 % BUT export transport operations by Turkish trucks increased by 62 %

  38. SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS COMPARISON OF TRADE AND TRANSPORT GROWTH BETWEEN TURKEY AND HUNGARY 2005-2006 Between 2005-2006, Turkish exports to Hungary increased by 27.8 % BUT export operations by Turkish vehicles only increased by 10 %

  39. SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS EXPORT TRANSPORT OPERATIONS TO HUNGARY BY TURKISH TRUCKS Export transport operations to Hungary by Turkish trucks have been consistently increasing

  40. SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS TRANSIT OPERATIONS THROUGH HUNGARY BY TURKISH TRUCKS • In 2005, 7 % decrease in transit operations through Hungary by Turkish trucks was a result of high amounts of penalties imposed on use of permits and ECMT licenses.

  41. SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS TRANSPORT PERMIT QUOTAS ALLOCATED TO TURKISH TRUCKS

  42. 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 TRANSPORT PERMIT QUOTAS ALLOCATED TO HUNGARIAN TRUCKS • 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.

  44. SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS 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.

  45. SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS USE OF RO-LA TRAINS BY TURKISH TRUCKS The requested change in the Bonus Scheme ( 1 to 1 ratio) will provide for a 100 % increase in use of Ro-La trains

SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS 48-HOUR LIMIT ON THE VALIDITY OF PAYABLE PERMITS • Charges imposed by Hungary for transport operations (single trip): HUF 30.000 (approximately EUR 121) for transport operations to Hungary, HUF 60.000 (approximately EUR 242) for transit operations through Hungary • The abovementioned charges are imposed on vehicles from non-EU countries regardless of whether they are empty or laden. SOLUTION: Hungary should either • abolish the 48-hour limit for validity of authorization (operations to Hungary) or • extend the period of validity of authorizations from 48 hours to 96 hours

  47. SITUATION IN TURKISH-HUNGARIAN RELATIONS • OTHER PROBLEMS AND REQUESTS • Exemption of tractors and empty trucks from permit requirement • Exemption of green trucks • Limitation on the period stay in Hungary : the period stay should be equal to the validity of visa • Facilitation of visa procedures : • Fines imposed in Hungary are higher than average • Mutual recognition of Driving Licenses
