EKAER (the Electronic Public Road Transportation Control System) goes live on 1 March 2015; starting from this date, basically all public road transport requires an EKAER number; transport without an EKAER number can be fined with a penalty of up to 40% of the transported goods’ value.
The Government is continuing to fine-tune the system based on experiences drawn from the pilot period, in the context of which it has placed most of the regulation into a more flexibly amendable ministerial decree. Many of the detailed rules have been amended following social consultation; the main changes are summarised below.
