The Romanian Customs Authority (ANV) has released a project for the development of its operational capacity at Romania's border with Ukraine and Moldova.

"The project gets technical support from the Directorate-General for Structural Reform Support (DG REFORM) of the European Commission and is fully funded by the Technical Support Instrument of the European Union. The project is implemented in collaboration with KPMG Romania, selected by DG REFORM following a public procurement procedure," ANV reported in a press release on Monday, told Agerpres.

Among the main objectives of the project are: the evaluation of the organisational capacity of the Romanian Customs Authority amid the current European context with the particularities of the environment in which the Romanian customs authority carries out its activity (taking into account Romania's location on the eastern border of the European Union and in the immediate vicinity of the Ukraine-Russia armed conflict).

Another objective is the evaluation of human resources processes/procedures and existing professional training against the best practices in the European Union.

Yet another objective is the provision of support for professional training and, more importantly, in the initial training of customs staff in Romania, by organising both central and regional level training as well as a demonstration session of initial training for the newly hired customs workers.
