The State Transport Safety Service (Ukrtransbezpeka) informs that the order to deprive the Ukrzaliznytsia joint-stock company of the license to transport passengers, dangerous goods and hazardous waste by rail may come into force on January 17, 2022.
This is stated in the response of Ukrtransbezpeka to the inquiry of Ukrainian News Agency.
"Order No. 1044 of December 30, 2021 comes into force on January 17, 2022, in accordance with Part 4 of Article 16 of the Law of Ukraine "On Licensing of Types of Economic Activity," the response reads.
Also, according to the response, the order can be canceled if the discrepancies with the license requirements are eliminated.
"Specialists of Ukrtransbezpeka, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Ukrzaliznytsia are working to eliminate such inconsistencies," the response says.
