On September 9, the Cabinet of Ministers approved a new Procedure for organizing and conducting certification of customs officials.
This is stated in a message of the Ministry of Finance, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
This document is a key tool for ensuring the integrity and professional competence of employees of the State Customs Service.
The new Procedure provides for a one-time certification in accordance with current legislation.
The main goal is to confirm that customs officials have qualifications that meet the high standards necessary for their effective work.
The certification process will consist of three stages:
- testing for knowledge of the Constitution of Ukraine, customs and anti-corruption legislation;
- a test for logic and ability to work with information;
- an interview, during which professional competence and integrity are comprehensively assessed.
Particular attention is paid to the principles of transparency and objectivity.
The entire certification process, including testing and interview, will be recorded using continuous video and audio recording.
The results of each stage will be published on the official website of the State Customs Service.
According to the new Procedure, refusal to pass the certification or its unsuccessful completion is grounds for termination of civil service, which guarantees the renewal of the personnel and the elimination of dishonest employees.
Journalists and media representatives may be present at any stage of the certification.
To do this, it will be necessary to be accredited, submit a notification and a written undertaking not to disclose data.
The number of attendees will be determined by the area of the room, but cannot be less than two people.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on August 24, Minister of Finance of Ukraine Serhii Marchenko and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Canada to Ukraine Natalia Tsmots signed an agreement on mutual administrative assistance in customs matters.
