According to him, an important element of Ukraine's movement in the EU is the development of fast logistics towards the west.
Shmyhal noted that the government sets three key tasks to improve the operation of the Ukrainian-European border:
On August 15, 2022, the Verkhovna Rada adopted in its entirety draft law No. 7420, known as the "Law on Exemption from Customs Visas". The document improves, among other things, the existing provisions to simplify customs clearance for reliable companies, grant the status of financial guarantor and ensure the payment of customs duties. The draft law also provides for the introduction of a European complaints mechanism and the continuation of the digitization of customs authorities, which should speed up the process and reduce the risk of corruption.
