9. Summary description of the project/service
a. Objective(s)
A complex data exchange system for the mutual recognition of authorized economic operators between the Republic of Moldova and the European Union will be developed for the Customs Service. Before reaching the point of developing the data exchange system, the Customs Service implemented a series of actions, including the assessment of the national customs legislation and its approximation to the European Union one. The mechanism for the exchange of safety and security data of AEOs between the Republic of Moldova and the EU Members States will allow certain benefits to the mutually recognized economic operators, first of all priority treatment at crossing the border – a special lane intended for the holders of this authorization, and reduced number of controls – the AEO status being recognized by both the EU and Moldova customs administrations indicates that a trader’s role in the international supply chain is secure .
