Calls grow for faster normalization of commercial traffic at Greece-Türkiye border
According to industry organizations, the border crossing is a critical link not only for the movement of commercial goods between Greece and Türkiye but also for international road freight transportation.
The organizations have called for immediate coordination among all relevant institutions and service units to ensure that the passage of commercial vehicles returns to normal as quickly as possible.
They are also seeking measures to increase the crossing’s daily processing capacity and significantly reduce waiting times for commercial vehicles.
SHORT-TERM MEASURES URGED
While exporters and industrialists are awaiting the completion of ongoing infrastructure investments, they are also urging authorities to implement operational measures that can be introduced in the short term.
Industry representatives argue that such measures should be put into effect without delay to ease congestion and prevent disruptions to cross-border trade and international freight transport.
The calls come as the border crossing continues to serve as an important route for commercial traffic between Greece and Türkiye, making efficient border processing particularly important for exporters, manufacturers and international road transport operators.
