PROJECT SUMMARY

The intensification of trade in the Mediterranean area has been identified as a top priority under the European Neighbourhood Policy. In particular, the Action Plans for Lebanon and Jordan stress on the importance of improving the export potential of both countries by further liberalizing trade in goods and simplifying customs legislation and procedures. Taking into account these objectives, CUSTOM MED aims to increase goods circulation among selected Mediterranean ports by developing common customs procedures and increasing the use of ICT technologies. This will contribute in the long-term to reducing the length of import-clearing processes reinforcing at the same time the competiveness of the concerned ports.
