On Thursday, February 16, the Latvian Seimas approved urgent changes to the Law on Support for the Civilian Population of Ukraine. They provide for the possibility of free transfer of vehicles to the ownership of the government of Ukraine - to support the Ukrainian society.

“So far, we can sell vehicles confiscated from drunk drivers by selling them, transferring them for processing or disassembling them for spare parts, but we see that in the current conditions they would be useful support for the people of Ukraine,” Raimonds Bergmanis, responsible for passing the bill in the Seimas, explained..

It was determined that the decision on the transfer of state-owned vehicles in each specific case will be made by the Cabinet of Ministers in accordance with the Regulations on the procedure for transferring state movable property to the ownership of governments of foreign states and international state organizations free of charge.

The explanatory note to the draft law provides that the process of transferring vehicles is planned to be organized through an association that cooperates with the government of Ukraine and has received specific requests for assistance.

The law will enter into force on the day following its publication..
