The Customs Service is prepared to carry out joint control at any customs point. The statement was made by Customs Director Vitalie Vrabie at the meeting with the head of the European Union Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine (EUBAM) Slawomir Pichor.

"The Customs Service is ready to carry out joint control at any customs point We are ready to meet all conditions if they are for the benefit of travelers and economic operators We continue to support EUBAM and hope to succeed in expanding joint control in as many customs posts as possible", said Vitalie Vrabie.

In this context, the Head of Customs recalled the proposal to start expanding joint control with the Tudora customs post, which has the necessary infrastructure to host all partner services.
