Welcome to the EUBAM website...

[index.php?action=welcome&sid=ysk9nnwczd2gbd7quxbdb4ct44j8kek9] Welcome WORKING TOGETHER FOR REGIONAL SECURITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ON THE MOLDOVAN-UKRAINIAN BORDER Ferenc BANFI Head of the EUBAM Borders are a vital tool in promoting a safe environment in which trade and people to people contacts can flourish. Effective border management should facilitate, not hinder, trade and contacts across the border. Within its own area, the EU has worked for over 50 years to break down barriers between its Member States that can hamper trade and personal, family and cultural contact. Under the EU’s Neighbourhood Policy, the EU is reaching out to its neighbours in order to promote prosperity, common values and security as well as to help break down trade barriers. EUBAM was established by the EU at the joint request of the Presidents of Moldova and Ukraine in their joint letter of 2 June 2005. While the management of the border guard and customs services is firmly in the hands of the experienced personnel of the two states, the EU stands ready to assist and advise wherever this may be helpful. The Mission is seeking to make a sustainable contribution to enhancing the delivery of good quality border and customs services to the citizens of Moldova and Ukraine. Our common aim is a system of border and customs controls and border surveillance which meets not only European standards, but also, and especially, the legitimate needs of the citizens of each country.
