The European Parliament recognized driving licenses from Ukraine: why is it important for refugees

Ukrainians in the EU will be able to use their driver's licenses/Collage of Channel 24

Ukrainian refugees in the European Union will be able to use their driver's licenses. The corresponding decision was adopted by the European Parliament on July 7.

Ukrainians who have received temporary protection status in the EU do not have to take a new driving test. They can continue to use Ukrainian driving licenses.

561 MEPs voted for this decision, only 6 deputies voted against it.

Ukrainians can work as drivers trucks

Citizens of Ukraine who worked as truck or bus drivers will be able to continue their professional activities in Europe. To do this, they must confirm Ukrainian certificates of aptitude for short courses.

If refugees lose their driver's license, the EU country in which they applied for asylum may issue a new one. You just need to confirm that before that you really had a driver's license in Ukraine.

Note that now the decision of the European Parliament must be approved by the EU Council.

Mobile operators can keep benefits for refugees

The European Commission called on European and Ukrainian mobile operators to allow refugees to continue to use free or minimal tariffs.

Millions of people have left Ukraine and are in the EU. It is extremely important that Ukrainians have the opportunity to use communications at an affordable price, while remaining in contact with their families and friends, the message says.

Note that the agreement was signed on April 8 for 3 months, so this period will expire soon .
