Frontex and the World Customs Organization teamed up in Chisinau from 1-3 December to deliver a ‘customs workshop and capacity building on Intellectual Property Rights IPR’ to customs representatives from all six Eastern Partnership countries.The aim of the (EaP-IBM Capacity Building Project) training event was to provide information on procedural rules for customs authorities to enforce IPR, and to provide examples of best practices in terms of customs cooperation with Rights holders. Customs authorities from Eastern Partnership countries also took the opportunity to share their experiences in the field of IPR.
Staff from the Border Police of Moldova gathered in Chisinau at the end of November in order to receive training and guidance on English-language training tools for border guards at airports that have been developed by Frontex. This was the second such session organised for national trainers via the EaP-IBM Capacity Building Project, the first one taking part last April in Baku, Azerbaijan.
