“Utilizing the benefits of CIECA membership is now particularly relevant for us, given the intensification of European integration reforms related to Ukraine's acquisition of candidate status in the European Union. We are deeply convinced that it is the combination of efforts to achieve common goals and constructive interaction of competent authorities in the field of driver testing within the framework of CIECA that is the key to achieving effective results,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs noted in the GSC.

The knowledge gained will make it possible to more productively implement the standards of the European Union in Ukraine and improve the processes of passing theoretical and practical exams. Thanks to its membership in CIECA, Ukraine has more opportunities to conclude bilateral agreements on mutual recognition and exchange of national driver's licenses without the need to pass exams.
