New BORDERLINK research project sets ambitious targets

The new EU-funded BORDERLINK research project has some ambitious targets and is destined to make a significant contribution to the Customs Control Equipment Instrument (CCEI) aims and the planned reform of the Customs Union. BORDERLINK will enhance Customs’ capabilities and performance at EU borders by advancing the detection and identification of threat materials, improving training, communication and data sharing. Importantly, it will also help to strengthen supply chain controls and promote the Green Customs Initiative.

The Cross-border Research Association (CBRA) is exhibiting on Stand #34 at the World Border Security Congress and we will also be very focussed on our other projects CONNECTOR, PARSEC, MELCHIOR and PEN-CP, so do come along and speak to us about your interests and expertise. We are particularly looking to talk to Customs and Border Security professionals that would like to be part of the CONNECTOR Stakeholder Group.
