Rada adopts law envisaging Ukraine's accession to convention on common transit with EU

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said this in a Telegram post, Ukrinform reports.

The document brings the Ukrainian customs legislation closer to the legislation of the European Union. In particular, it improves the current regulations in terms of simplifying customs clearance for reliable enterprises, granting the status of a financial guarantor and ensuring the payment of customs payments.

The amendments also provide for the implementation of the European complaint handling mechanism and the continued digitalization of customs, which will speed up its passage and reduce corruption risks.

Bill No. 7420 was supported at first reading in June this year. Some 269 MPs then voted for the document.
