Discussing the basic documents for implementation of the pilot project in OCSP:
O. Platonov presented the drafts of the above mentioned documents to the Meeting sitters for consideration. Those present expressed their remarks and proposals concerning the text of the Draft Resolution of CMU.
P. V. Pashko supported the urgency of “Single Window” commissioning, but noted that the work of the Interagency Working Group must be organized on a high level and all procedures and functions of the Working and Expert Groups must be described in detail.
O. Ye. Moshynska dwelled on a number of remarks made by the State Customs Service of Ukraine as to the Draft Resolution text (editor’s, textual, etc.) and also stated that the Draft Resolution provides for authorities of the State Customs Service of Ukraine and its leaders which are not provided by the Provision on the State Customs Service of Ukraine approved by Decree of the President of Ukraine dated 12 May 2011 # 582/2011.
O. Ye. Moshynska noted the fact that the documents are submitted to the Members of the Interagency Working and Expert Groups for consideration on a very tight time schedule which is insufficient for their study and thrashing out and also proposed that the draft standard and legal documents should be worked over by a group of experts before their submission to the Interagency Working Group for consideration: that will enable discussing of only uncoordinated issues and deal with no editing.
O. M. Tverdokhlib noted that the Members of the Interagency Working Group are not authorized to endorse draft resolutions, so, he proposed to strike the item on endorsement of the CMU Draft Resolution “On Organisation of Interagency Working Group for ‘Single Window – Local Solution’” off the draft decisions and also proposed to cancel the words “and endorsement” in Item 4, CMU Draft Resolution “On Organisation of Interagency Working Group for Implementation of the “Single Window – Local Solution” Technology.
S. B. Kotov noticed that the submitted Draft Resolution may not be considered at the Meeting due to incompliance of some provisions with the requirements of the legislation of Ukraine concerning the border issues and proposed to narrow the Draft Resolution so that it only concerns “Single Window”.
O. I. Platonov paid attention to the fact that based on the results of the International Seminar on trade facilitation, UNECE, it was recommended to commission the “Single Window” technology in all checkpoints, but as the budget was empty it was decides to commence the project from the ports of Odessa Region with its further extension to other ports and checkpoints at the state border. That is why the project includes the title “On Organisation of Interagency Working Group for Commissioning “Single Window – Local Solution” Technology. O. I. Platonov also explained that proposed in the Draft Resolution are the names of ministers and authorities, but not the titles which was done for more fast and efficient work of the Interagency Working Group. He agreed with O. Ye. Moshynska’s position as to organizing the work of the expert groups for preliminary working over the draft standard and legal acts for the purpose of speeding up the work of the Interagency Working Group and with O. M. Tverdokhlib’s proposals.
O. I. Platonov also proposed to recommend the representatives of SMSU to make amendments to CMU Resolution dated 21.03.2012 # 219 “On Approval of Criteria Used in Estimating the Degree of Risk from Customs Broker’s Activity and in Determining Periodicity of Planned State Supervision (Control)” in order to provide for the procedure of EDS issuance to the control bodies’ representatives involved in the customs clearance and control procedures.
