Support to the modernisation of Customs Service of Moldova in line with AA requirements
The Twinning project “Support to the modernisation of Customs Service of Moldova in line with AA requirements” is aimed at supporting the Republic of Moldova in meeting its obligations under the terms of the Association Agreement with European Union with specific regard to the requirements of the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA) Agreement.
The Project has two main purposes:
- assisting in the necessary preparation for implementing the Single Window concept, i.e. the application of more efficient and more effective controls by the MDCS on goods imported into, exported from and in transit through Moldavia
- supporting to the preparation for and successful implementation of the Convention on a common transit procedure and the Convention on the simplifications of formalities in trade in goods (including the NCTS system)
The twinning project started on September 2017, with a duration of 24 months and an overall maximum budget of 1.000.000 euros.
The project is implemented by an international consortium composed of the Customs of the Republic of Lithuania (leader), the Central Management Agency (Lithuania), the Italian Customs and Monopoly Agency and Studiare Sviluppo.
Studiare Sviluppo will support the Italian Customs Agency in implementing the COMPONENT 4 specifically aimed at enhancing customs controls and involvement of stakeholders in the context of the SW and the Convention on a common transit procedure and the Convention on the simplification of formalities in trade of goods. Italy will also host a study visit of the Moldova Delegation in 2018.
