Many people believe that it is impossible to bring to administrative responsibility a person who drives or owns a "euro tank" because the car is not officially registered. But the legislator took care of this category of offenders. 🤷🏻‍♂️

In addition, it should be noted that if the Unified State Register of Vehicles contains information about the proper user of the vehicle, the responsibility will be borne by the proper user of the vehicle. In this case, the main proof that the car is driven by an authorized person, not the owner, will be a legible photo of the car and the driver who is driving the vehicle at the time of the offense.

If the vehicle is registered with a legal entity, the head of this legal entity will bear administrative responsibility.

Due to the catastrophic impact of the coronavirus pandemic on international tourism, the global economy could lose more than $ 4 trillion in 2020 and 2021. This is evidenced by the report published today by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).

According to the authors of the report, presented jointly with the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), in 2020, international tourism and closely related industries have already suffered losses in the amount of $ 2.4 trillion. Losses comparable to this value can be recorded this year as well.

So, in the period from January to December 2020, the number of foreign tourists in the world decreased by about one billion people, or by 73 percent. In the first quarter of 2021, the data obtained indicate a decrease in this indicator by 88 percent.

According to the authors of the report, the recovery of the tourism sector will largely depend on the degree of availability of vaccines against COVID-19. “The world needs a global collaborative vaccination effort,” said UNCTAD Acting Secretary-General Isabelle Durant.

Poland has introduced a mandatory 10-day quarantine for entry from countries outside the Schengen area, including Ukraine.

The following persons are released from isolation:

• - who have evidence of recovery from coronavirus disease;
• - defined in the Regulation of the EU Council of Ministers on the establishment of restrictions and prohibitions in connection with the epidemic;
• - who travel by plane from countries outside the Schengen area and will stay for 24 hours with a ticket confirming this.

The conditions of entry to other countries can be found on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

From midnight on Wednesday, Poland introduces a mandatory 10-day quarantine for travelers arriving from countries outside the Schengen area areas, unless they have been fully vaccinated against coronavirus. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Health of Poland Waldemar Kraska, reports "European Truth" with reference to RMF 24

"From the north, we are resuming a 10-day quarantine for people arriving from outside the Schengen area," Kraska said.

According to him, all this is due to the fact that more and more mutations in the coronavirus are appearing in Poland.

The list of countries with the largest outbreak of this type of COVID-19 includes: India, Great Britain, Portugal and the Russian Federation. The Foreign Ministry recommends postponing visits to them until the epidemiological situation is fully stabilized.

Ukrainians currently in these countries must comply with the anti-epidemic requirements of the competent authorities of the host country. Also, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not rule out that citizens who will arrive from countries with a rapid spread of the strain "Delta" will face additional quarantine restrictions upon arrival in Ukraine.

The owners of cars with foreign registration will now start to receive speeding tickets.

"The automatic recording system of traffic rules violations has just begun to register violations of traffic rules committed by car owners on foreign registration plates," the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine said.

Such a statement means that the legal car owner, or the person who imported the car to Ukraine will receive the ticket.

"Europlates" were usually imported into Ukraine by citizens of other countries (so-called "camels"). They drove cars into Ukraine and then went back to their country. Now it appears that they shall receive speeding tickets, not the drivers who actually violated.

1. When a car with foreign registration numbers (Europlate) is entering Ukraine, the border guard fills the car number, name and passport data of the person behind the wheel into the database.

2. Next, if the driver of this car exceeds the speed, the system automatically finds the data of the person who was behind the wheel when passing through customs, picking the data from the SBGS database.

3. Resolutions on the traffic rules violation are sent to border guards by the police officers.

4. Border guards fix the fact of traffic violations during stay in Ukraine and inform the driver at the departure point from Ukraine, offering him to pay the ticket.

5. If a foreign driver refuses to pay the ticket, he will be banned from entering Ukraine.

6. If the owner of the car with foreign license plates is a citizen of Ukraine, and he refuses to pay the fine, his documents shall be sent to the state executive service for forfeiture of property or bank accounts, according to the general procedure.
