At its fifty-seventh session ( Geneva , 3 February 2014 ) , the TIR Executive Board ( TIRExB ) discussed , inter alia , the ongoing crisis in the Russian Federation , which , since the first announcement in July 2013 , continues to disrupt the proper functioning of the TIR system in the Russian territory and negatively impacts international trade and transport to , through and from the Russian Federation . Since August 2013 TIRExB , as well as AC.2 , have consistently established that the measure by the Federal Customs Service ( FCS ) does not comply with the various provisions of the TIR Convention , in particular its Articles 3 , 4 , 6 , 42 bis and 49 and , consequently , results in a breach of the TIR Convention .
