Trade & Transport Facilitation in South East Europe (TTFSE)

There are five project components. The first improves customs procedures, assists streamline operations at three border posts and one inland terminal on a pilot basis; provides customs training in new procedures, and trains for agency awareness and cooperation; and restructures the customs administration. The second component provides technical assistance and advisory services to trade and international transport participants through the European chamber; improves communication between border control agencies and trading community by using a virtual forum; and supplies equipment. The third component improves information system, provides personnel training, and stimulates regional and inter-agency cooperation. The fourth component improves border crossing facilities. The fifth component includes the services to support program implementation.**
