The EU Border Assistance Mission to Moldova and Ukraine (EUBAM) contributes to the delivery of good quality border and customs services to the citizens and companies of Moldova, Ukraine and the European Union. Together with border guard and customs services of Moldova and Ukraine the Mission facilitates people-to-people contacts, legitimate trade and security. Mission’s funding comes from the European Commission. Administrative and logistical support is provided by the United Nations Development Programme.
EUBAM observes what goes on at the border and helps the Moldovan and Ukrainian border guard and customs services to harmonise border management with European standards. In cooperation with Moldovan and Ukrainian partners EUBAM helps to tackle smuggling, illegal migration, and other criminal activity taking place across the common border, in particular involving the Transnistrian segment. The Mission’s role is technical and advisory.
Established in November 2005 at the joint request of the Presidents of Moldova and Ukraine, the Mission assists with the modernisation of management of the Moldovan-Ukrainian border and contributes towards the settlement of the Transnistrian conflict.
