Almaty. August 17. Silkroadnews - Kazakhstan closed the entry of empty wagons from Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan, reported the newspaper "Vedomosti".
As noted in a publication ban on the entry of wagon did not affect the wagons from Russia, but the Russian railway operators believe that the ban will affect them too. They sent a letter in which operators asked Roszheldor to refer to Kazakh colleagues to allow the Russian owners of empty wagons to cross its border into the territory of the country.
"Council of russian operator indicate that the restrictions imposed by KTZ are contrary to the agreement on the Eurasian Economic Union. EAEC in whole should have the same working conditions", - stated in the text.
According to the market analysts, the ban on the entry of empty wagons to Kazakhstan from other countries is clear. Kazakhstan, like Russia, faced with a reduction in loading and surplus cars, he said. Russian operators squeezed Kazakhstan, taking part of the export cargo, exporting it to their empty wagons.
