Russia, Belarus cargo transporters should unite-minister.

BREST, August 7 (Itar-Tass) - Belarussian and Russian motor cargo
transporters should not compete against each other, they should together
compete against European rivals on the European cargo transportation
market, Russian Transport Minister Igor Levitin told Itar-Tass in an
interview. "We will discuss how to do this, which decisions should be made
for this, at the 10th session of the coordination commission for the
formation and ensuring functioning of the united transport system of the
Russian-Belarussian Union State," the minister noted.
The commission's meeting will be held in Brest on Thursday. Taking
part in it will be the leadership of the Russian Transport Ministry,
Belarussian Ministry of Transport and Communications, as well as officials
of the two countries' customs agencies.
Another important issue to be discussed at the meeting will be the
plan of measures aimed at the formation of the common transport system of
the Union State for 2008-2010. It is also planned to consider the issue of
the beginning of the work on the concept of the creation of the common
market of transport services.
After the meeting of the commission, the heads of the transport
ministries of the two countries will visit the automobile checkpoints
Varshavsky Bridge and Kozlovichi that are working on the exterior border
of the Union State.
