The signed resolution amends the Regulations of the State Inspection/Monitoring of Transnational Automobile Transportation (hereafter, Regulations), endorsed by Government Resolution No 1272 of 31 October 1998.
Particularly, a premise now removed from the regulations envisaged a written notification of the operator/driver by the customs officers of a revealed violation and the necessity to visit the nearest Rostransnadzor office, where its employees would take measures stipulated by the law.
Another amendment specifies the details of customs officers’ duties in case they reveal administrative misdemeanours as they monitor automobiles at border checkpoints.
The amendments determine customs officers’ actions as they inform Rostransnadzor about persons held administratively responsible for transnational automobile transport regulations violated in Russia. As they stipulate, vehicles involved in said misdemeanours shall not be allowed to leave Russia before the misdemeanour is remedied and a certificate testifying to the fine payment is displayed.
The amendments will enhance the effectiveness of transport inspections, allow for the urgent detection of every violation on the site and help transport operators to avoid procrastinations and expenditures in regards to returning vehicles from Russian border checkpoints to the nearest Rostransnadzor office for measures stipulated by Russian legislation.
