A webinar focusing on synchronized checks at border crossing points (BCPs) provided 40 officers from the Moldovan and Ukrainian customs and border services with crucial knowledge of legal frameworks and practical implementation. The training event featured six experts from Estonia, Finland, and Georgia, who shared their countries’ advanced approaches to cooperation between customs and border authorities.

The presentations emphasized the mutual use of databases and the delegation of competencies between services at BCPs, showcasing the high level of collaboration in Estonia, Finland, and Georgia. Moldovan and Ukrainian officers demonstrated significant interest in the legal framework, which provides a legal basis for mutual delegation of competencies between services and implementation of best practices. This will boost the development of synchronized checks at the Moldova-Ukraine border.
