General information
Description of the project
The development of border infrastructure is crucial for the revitalization of border regions and the simplification of cross-border traffic. The availability of reliable transport and customs connections directly affects economic growth and regional stability. The opening and proper functioning of the Shepit checkpoint will provide an opportunity to lay the foundation for increasing trade, increasing the investment attractiveness of the region, developing tourism and improving the quality of life of local communities.
The purpose of the project
Main Goal:
Increasing compliance with modern standards
Secondary Goal:
Improving the condition of infrastructure
Description of the purpose of the project and ways to achieve it
The aim of the project is to improve the optimization and modernization of transport flows in terms of infrastructure capacity, interoperability and efficiency of border crossing services at the Shepit road crossing point between Romania and Ukraine. In addition, the implementation of the project will positively impact the development of mountain communities that border the Shepit border crossing point.
Problems and solutions resulting from project implementation
The Shepit automobile checkpoint has not been carrying out customs clearance since 2010 due to Romania's accession to the Schengen area. The restrictions that arose in connection with Romania's accession to the Schengen area require the Shepit checkpoint infrastructure to meet current regulatory requirements. In addition, it is advisable to harmonize the checkpoint infrastructure with European Union standards. The new construction of the checkpoint will allow for the clearance of 50 vehicles and 150 people per day.
