Both Moldova and Ukraine signed Association Agreements with the EU in 2014. This marked a new stage in the development of the EU’s bilateral relations with both countries, 以政治联合和经济一体化为目标.
Trade and trade-related matters feature heavily in the Association Agreements with both Moldova and Ukraine under Title IV. Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Areas (DCFTAs) between the EU-Moldova and EU-Ukraine were established in June 2014 and January 2016 respectively. They oblige the mutual opening of markets for goods and services.
EUBAM, together with the European Commission and EU Delegations to the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, has played an active role in ensuring the Customs Services of both countries smoothly implement this new trade regime and adapt their legislation and procedures accordingly. 欧盟边防局边境管理部主任, 科林Gazeley, explains what the DCFTAs are and how EUBAM supports their introduction.
The DCFTAs will see Moldova and Ukraine’s Customs legislation and procedures aligned with the EU’s Union Customs Code. The Mission has assisted Moldova to redraft its Customs Code in line with EU standards, and advised both countries in the Preferential Rules of Origin and “no-drawback” rule in the Origin Protocol of the DCFTAs.
改革海关程序不仅仅是纸面上的工作. It affects economic operators in both countries and ensuring the reforms do not disrupt or inhibit trade is essential for the success of the DCFTAs. 2015年,代表团成立了贸易便利化工作组. 科林Gazeley解释了EUBAM是如何接触商业的.
Promoting business-friendly procedures are at the heart of EUBAM’s support. A major achievement has been Moldova’s bold step in May 2015 to reduce the number of support documents required for customs clearance from around 11 to three. 这降低了企业成本, boosted competitiveness and raises Moldova’s ranking in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business index. The Mission has been active in both countries to ensure Customs legislation and procedures facilitate trade. 欧盟商会贸易便利化顾问Vladimir Pisar解释道.

在EUBAM的支持下, Ukraine’s State Fiscal Service elaborated and disseminated instructions to Customs Officers and made explanatory notes available for economic operators. 近48,000欧元.1 certificates were issued and 112 exporters approved to declare origin on export commercial documents in 2016. 根据特派团的建议, the State Fiscal Service has approved exporters to self-certify origin for preferential treatment of Ukrainian goods import into the EU.
