Developing cooperation and understanding between customs officers and border agencies
Strengthening operational cooperation between the customs administrations in European seaports and smaller river ports
Developing cooperation and understanding between customs officers and border agencies is vital for effective border management and security. Agencies need to exchange intelligence regarding potential threats, smuggling activities, and other suspicious behaviours. This includes sharing data on cargo, travellers, and vehicles.
Joint training, operations and inspections will improve effectiveness and working together on risk assessments, to identify high-risk shipments and travellers, will allow for targeted inspections and resource allocation. Identifying key dual-purpose technologies for tracking and monitoring goods and people will enhance efficiency and save money.
Collaborating on policy development will also lead to more effective border management strategies, considering both security needs and trade facilitation.
