Overview

Expected Outcome:

Strengthening and improving beneficiaries’ (in particular, customs authorities’) technical capacity to detect suspicious movements and verify such movements, including by checking trucks, containers and other types of vehicles and means of transport. This will be measured by the number of new features in IT systems or the number of verifications and ‘hits’ following the use of the new equipment.

Scope:

The Commission will support the purchase and maintenance of equipment and IT tools to strengthen beneficiaries’ operational and technical capacity to detect smuggled and counterfeited goods. These include cigarettes and tobacco, imported into the EU with the intention of evading VAT, customs duties and/or excise taxes. Specialised training for staff to operate these tools must be included as part of the action.
