The customs departments of the countries participating in the international cooperation program between the European Union and partner countries for the organization of the transport corridor "Europe - the Caucasus - Asia" (TRACECA) are preparing a framework agreement on the creation of a single transit portal for electronic services.

This was stated by the head of the customs regulation department of the Main Directorate of Customs Administration of the State Customs Committee of Azerbaijan, Jafar Guluzade.

“We have carried out all the necessary internal work in Azerbaijan. We are currently waiting for the Turkic-speaking countries involved in the international transit corridor to also complete them. Then a single transit portal for customs services will be created. Work is underway on a corresponding framework agreement,” he said.

The TRACECA Program was first initiated in May 1993 at a conference in Brussels with the participation of ministers of trade and transport from 8 countries: Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

The participants adopted the Brussels Declaration, which marked the beginning of the implementation of the interregional technical assistance program «TRACECA».
