EEC considered approaches to drawing up the action plan for organizing cooperation with WCO
The Eurasian Economic Commission discussed approaches to drawing up the action plan (road map) on developing cooperation with the World Customs Organization (WCO). This task is among the important ones within the Strategic Directions for Developing the Eurasian Economic Integration until 2025.
The meeting of the EEC field-specific working group was attended by representatives of the authorized bodies of the EAEU countries dealing with customs policy development, as well as improvement of customs regulation in interaction with the international customs community.
"EEC Customs Cooperation Unit analyzed the precedent of the European Union and articulated the legal and organizational approaches and measures for delivering on the goal to be achieved. Along with this, it is necessary to make up the list the Union's legal acts to be developed for implementing the Strategy-2025 in the part in question," noted Sergei Vladimirov, Director of EEC Department for Customs Legislation and Law Enforcement Practice.
Among the reviewed topics there was development of approaches to organizing interaction between the EEC and customs bodies of the EAEU Member States in the framework of considering the WCO agenda. The EEC Customs Cooperation Unit expects that the effective dialogue with the participants of the working group on these issues will continue.
