Ruslan Davydov, Minister in charge of Customs Cooperation of the Eurasian Economic Commission, took part in a customs conference organized by the Association of European Businesses in Moscow.

At the plenary session, the EEC Minister spoke about the plans to improve customs regulation, paying special attention to the work to develop the transit potential of the Eurasian Economic Union.

Ruslan Davydov explained the need for priority development of checkpoint infrastructure on the external customs border of the Eurasian Economic Union as a crucial element in establishing transport and logistics corridors across the EAEU.

"It is important to develop not only physical infrastructure, but also to introduce breakthrough digital technologies to create a unified integrated information system of border crossing points. All EAEU countries have positive experience in such activities. Now it is necessary to set about unifying technological solutions based on the best global practices," Ruslan Davydov emphasized.

In order to ensure coordinated and synchronized work on fitting out checkpoints on the EAEU customs border, the EEC is currently developing common mandatory minimum requirements for the relevant infrastructure, the implementation of which will simplify customs operations and reduce the time required to pass a checkpoint while maintaining the necessary supervision level.
