EUBAM jointly with CELBET between 10-14 June organized a study visit to the X-ray Image Analysis and Training Center of the National Revenue Administration of Poland / CELBET Center of Expertise in Gdansk and a visit to Gdynia port’s Baltic Container Terminal. The visit was aimed to exchange experience and best practices in handling X-ray scanning systems and analyzing scanned images as well as in development of training/education standards in this field.

Three representatives of the Customs Service from the Republic of Moldova and three delegates of the customs authority from Ukraine together with partners from EUBAM and CELBET gained new knowledge from their Polish colleagues. During the visit, participants were impressed by the state-of-the-art technology and expertise at the X-ray Image Analysis and Training Center. The center’s commitment to professional development and training improvement was evident in their comprehensive approach to handling X-ray scanning systems and analyzing scanned images.

This exchange of experience will undoubtedly contribute to the enhancement of non-intrusive control methods and strengthen collaboration among customs officers from Ukraine, Moldova, and Poland. EUBAM remains committed to enhancing non-intrusive control methods and fostering collaboration between Ukrainian and Moldovan customs officers.
