Changes provide for introduction of joint border control at the EU border with Ukraine
20 June 2013 the EU Council approved amendments to the Schengen Borders Code (Regulation EU № 562/2006) adopted by the European Parliament 13 June this year, as per the statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.
The amendments, inter alia, provide for the introduction of joint border control at the border of the EU with third countries, including Ukraine.
In this regard, the Mission of Ukraine to the EU welcomes this long-awaited decision, which offers opportunities to deepen Ukraine's border cooperation with neighboring countries - Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania, helps facilitate passport control, save financial resources and strengthen mutual trust between border authorities of Ukraine and EU Member States.
