Poland supposes that the local border traffic accord with Ukraine may be put into effect before the European Union extends its border norm at Poland's initiative.

A spokesman of the Polish Foreign Ministry's Department of Consular and Polonia Affairs has told this Ukrainian News.

"There's such a chance. A political decision may be passed," the source said when asked if the accord with Ukraine can be put into effect before the EU border norm changed.

But the Polish Foreign Ministry's spokesman stressed that the European Commission's position is to be taken into account when making such a decision, and it demands to reduce the border zone foreseen by the Ukrainian-Polish accord to 30 from 50 kilometers.

The source announced the Euro-commission's protest to the valid Ukraine-Hungary border traffic accord on the 50-kilometer zone.

"They [Hungary] face the European Court," he said.

In his words, Ukraine has not announced its stance toward the Polish side's recent proposals on the local border traffic accord signed in March, to account for the EC requirements.

"Still no response," the source said.

He added that the last talks on the EC remarks to the accord were held on July 17 in Kyiv by representatives of both countries' Health Ministries.

As Ukrainian News earlier reported, Poland has come forward with the initiative to increase the norm of the EU border zone to 30 from 50 kilometers to keep such a zone with Ukraine, fixed by the Ukraine-Poland accord signed in March.

The accord was to take force in May, when the EC demanded to reduce border zone to 30 from 50 kilometers and cancel mandatory medical insurance of citizens who cross the border within frames of the accord.
