Macedonia Joins the European Community Program Customs 2013

On August 4, 2009, the Republic of Macedonia ratified the Memorandum of Understanding with the European Community and officially joined the program Customs 2013.

The program, geared for implementation by December 2013, facilitates the cooperation between the EU Member States customs and the Candidate Countries customs in areas defined as high mutual interest.

The program is supposed to improve security levels at the external borders of the European Union, increase market competitiveness by simplifying customs procedures and bureaucracy and reinforce fraud protection in the EU countries, as well as in Candidate Countries.
