- The Government is a fair dialogue partner. At the level of ministries and public institutions, we took over and analyzed the hauliers' demands, and in tomorrow Cabinet's meeting, we will already approve a set of measures agreed upon both with the Transport Ministry and the Agriculture Ministry.

Establishing limits, in line with European legislation and from other EU member states, regarding tolerance limits for trucks with excess load in transport;
Intervals are granted for exceeding the maximum total permissible axle load up to which contraventional sanctions are not applied and a license for the movement of these vehicles is not required;
Clarifying some aspects regarding the performance of the periodic technical inspection of vehicles registered in Romania, the professional attestation of specialized road transport personnel, as well as the correlation of some provisions regarding the conclusion and enforcement of the transport contract for national transports;
Some provisions regulating the examination of persons to obtain the initial attestation for drivers transporting people or goods are also clarified.
In addition, at todays meeting, the settlement of student transport was also discussed, and the dialogue on this topic will continue to reach a solution.
Another subject left to be further analyzed refers to the partial refund of fuel excise to transport operators.
Consultations between hauliers and the Government will continue with working meetings at the level of Transport and Finance Ministries.
