YEREVAN. - Georgia will not raise its goods' transit fee due to its
European integration, Armenia-based Trans Logistic Caucasus company
director Yeghishe Hovhannisyan toldArmenian News-NEWS.am.
In his words, moreover, this will not apply to automobile transit of
goods because, with a joint agreement between Armenia and Georgia, a
transit fee is not charged on automobile-based transit of goods.
Hence a raise in the goods' transit fee applies solely to
railway-based transportation of goods.
"And the tariff increases here [in the railway-based transportation of
goods] are independent of politics; this is a general trend in the CIS
countries.
"And it is not beneficial--purely in the economic sense--for the
Georgian railways to raise the tariffs too much.
"In recent years, we transport lot more products from railways to
automobile," Hovhannisyan concluded.
As reported earlier, Georgia and Moldova on Friday have signed the
European Union Association Agreement.
