EU4PFM and Prozorro hosted a webinar on the professionalisation of public procurement stakeholders, during which EU4PFM experts presented the results of a study on public procurement training needs.
On 1-2 August, the EU4PFM team of public procurement experts, together with partners from the Department for Public Procurement and Competition Policy of the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, held the third regional training “Public Procurement during EU Accession: Overview of Potential Legal and Institutional Changes and Strategic Measures to Improve Procurement Efficiency”.
Launch of new Customs Code development, international operation of NCTS Phase 5, and development of Budget Declaration using IT solution for budget planning represent key achievements in the first half of 2024 of the EU4PFM Project and its Partners.
The reform of Ukrainian customs, which is currently being implemented, has a particular task: to prepare Ukraine for joining the European Customs Union. Achieving this task within customs is essential for recognizing Ukraine as ready to join the European Union, a topic discussed at intergovernmental conferences on the launch of negotiations on June 25.
In Q2 2024, the State Customs Service of Ukraine processed 25,500 transit declarations under the Common Transit procedure (NCTS), 2,000 more than in the previous quarter. Notably, around 15,000 of these were processed using the new NCTS Phase 5 system.
