Good governance and anti-corruption runs through all of EUBAM’s activities. When left unchecked, corruption inhibits investment and damages trade. It can be the root cause which allows smuggling and trafficking to flourish and erodes border security.
在制度层面上, the Mission has worked with Moldova and Ukraine’s border agencies to put in place robust regulations and mechanisms to prevent, detect and investigate corrupt behaviour. Slawomir Pichor, Head of EUBAM’s Office in Moldova, explains how EUBAM helps to tackle corruption.
Prevention is the most sustainable and effective means to combat corruption. That means shaping the behaviour of Customs and Border Officers. In 2016, EUBAM worked with Moldova’s Customs Service to develop their Code of Ethics and Conduct. The new Code complies with international standards of integrity and outlines the fundamental principles of ethics, mandatory norms of professional conduct and discipline. Artiom Popenco, Principal Inspector of Integrity and Surveillance Division of Moldova’s Customs Service explains why the Code matters.
Modernised Customs practices are also an important means to curtail corruption. EUBAM promotes simplified customs procedures such as automated clearance and the introduction of Single Window systems, which reduces the possibilities for corrupt practices.
EUBAM’s border and customs experts also take the fight against corruption to the border crossing points on the Moldova-Ukraine border. The Mission regularly visit the 69 border crossing points on the common border, as well as ports of entry at Odesa, Chornomorsk and Giurgiulesti ports. They observe the practices of Customs and Border Officers, advise on the transparency of procedures and seek to ensure that corruption is not practiced.
EUBAM’s experts have a zero-tolerance approach to corruption. Where corruption is suspected or reported to them, these concerns are shared with the management of the respective service and robustly follow-up to ensure complaints are investigated.
