Armenia and Georgia Discussed Improvement of Their Customs Services
The activities of the project of Modernization of Bagratashen, Bavra,
Gogavan Border Crossing Points of the Republic of Armenia implemented
by the United Nations Development Programme have already started. To
improve the quality of services of the Armenian-Georgian border
crossing points the delegation of the Revenue Service adjunct to the
Georgian Ministry of Finance headed by Vladimir Khundadzeh, head of
the Georgian Revenue Service, visited Armenia on July 12-13.
During the meeting with the leadership of the State Revenue Committee
exchange of experience and communication, as well as issues relating
to the improvement of the Bagratashen-Sadakhlo, Airum-Sadakhlo,
Gogavan-Guguti and Bavra Ninotsminda were discussed. The head of the
SRC proposed to introduce joint software to exchange electronic
declarations, as well as activate queries between the counterparts to
boost fight against smuggling on the Armenian-Georgian border.
Agreement was reached to set up working groups and draft the timeline
of activities, the SRC informs.
The head of the Georgian Revenue Service Vladimir Khundadzeh expressed
readiness to activate cooperation. Given the intergovernmental
agreement on joint management of border crossing points signed last
year, double check at the border will be replaced by one check.
It will help simplify procedures, cut costs and save time, and of
course, ensure convenience. What used to take ten minutes will now
take five minutes, the SRC informs. The customs services of the two
countries will exchange information online. Vladimir Khundadzeh
informed that a lot of work has been done at Bagratashen-Sadakhlo and
Bavra Ninotsminda. Works in the first border crossing point have been
completed, the second will be ready in the first quarter of 2014.
