Representatives of the Customs Service participated at the kick-off meeting of the CONNECTOR "Extended Common Interoperable Environment for the Exchange of Customs Information" project, funded through the European Union's HORIZONT EUROPE Grants Program, which took place in Athens, Greece.
The scope of the project is addressing the need of close cooperation between Customs, Border and Coast Guard Authorities within the current and upcoming challenging and demanding environment of borders’ control by further involving Customs to the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE) network and Enhanced Common Information Sharing Environment (e-CISE) through the proposed Customs Extended Common Information Sharing Environment (CE-CISE).
Thus, the Customs Service of the Republic of Moldova, the General Inspectorate of the Border Police of the Republic of Moldova and 14 other institutions and organizations from European Union member countries are to implement this project, which will contribute to improving the European Integrated Border Management (EIBM) and the Customs Union Action Plan.
