About

The workshop will bring together 40 customs officers from 16 participating States from Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It will focus on procurement and maintenance of non-intrusive inspection (NII) equipment, tactical risk management approach to targeting containers for inspection, training of NII operators and interpretation of x-ray images. All participants will make presentations on the deployment of NII equipment in their respective countries. The use of modern technology such as NII equipment and radiation detection equipment is a key standard of the WCO SAFE Framework to Secure and Facilitate Global Trade, which OSCE participating States decided in 2005 to implement as soon as possible (MC.DEC/6/05).
