EUBAM Annual Report 2007

At the end of November 2007, the EU Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine marked its second anniversary. Over the year, working in accor
dance with its mandate and the Needs Assessment and Recommendations Report issued in 2006, its cooperation with the border services of Moldova and
Ukraine deepened, building greater mutual confidence and helping them to achieve significant results. Thanks to the Mission’s observation of the situation on the border and its objective advice on legal, structural and practical issues there is greater transparency and cooperation along the Moldovan Ukrainian border. The capacity of the partner services to detect criminality continued to improve and helped to increase taxes and duties raised for the state budgets
of Moldova and Ukraine.
