Objective of the project
The Project has two main purposes:
- The first purpose is to assist in the necessary preparation for implementing the Single Window (SW). The SW will ensure the application of more efficient and more effective controls by the MDCS on goods imported into, exported from and in transit through RoM. It will also result in greater facilitation for stakeholders involved in the international movement of goods and, in particular, those involved in the import into, export from or transit of goods through RoM.
- The second objective is to assist in the preparation for and successful implementation of the Convention on a common transit procedure and the Convention on the simplifications of formalities in trade in goods (including the NCTS system). Apart from the obvious advantages for both MDCS and stakeholders, in terms of applying more effective controls for the former and reduced compliance costs for the latter, implementation of the common transit procedure (supported by the NCTS) will also facilitate compliance by RoM with one of the obligations of the DCFTA Agreement, (as part of the AA) with the EU.
