Ukraine
The Ukraine mission was started in November 2009, the
coldest time in this country. Our task was to asses the
readiness of the border sector – her was understood the
National Customs Service and the Border Guard Service,
trying to improve the Integrated Border Management.
In the field contacts should be mentioned the followings
with representatives of both services:
A very helpful contact was with the Odessa based EUBAM
Team, an EU founded project to rise the standards of the
Ukrainian and Moldovan level of border protection. This
project was the unique real intent to promote the
cooperation between the both main services on the
borders. They have planned with the Ukrainian
counterparts to implement a pilot project in 2011 on the
Moldovan Border.
Additionally we have had many contacts with ongoing
projects and institutions relevant in the sector and in
the macro-economical context. Here should be mentioned
the US-Embassy Customs project, different other US
projects and the Ministry of Economy and the Ministry of
Finance.
The Border Guard Service BCP leader explains us the
in the photo the border area near Mayaky. The special
conditions in this area are resulting that the Ukrainian
road is going thru Moldova for any kilometers. The
same road is used for internal traffic inside Moldova.
