Effective measures for preventing, detecting and combatting drug trafficking through postal and express parcels will be the focus of a workshop in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv on 2-3 October. The event is being organised through the Technical Assistance and Information Exchange Instrument of the European Commission (TAIEX) in co-operation with the State Fiscal Service of Ukraine.

 

The State Fiscal Service, together with other law enforcement agencies, is responsible for fighting this phenomenon. According to TAIEX, last year the State Fiscal Service detected 1122 cases of illegal movement of narcotics, psychotropic substances and precursors. Drug trafficking through postal and express delivery services increases every year.

 

During the two-day workshop, experts from Belgium, Poland, Romania, Sweden and the United Kingdom will share their experiences on the methods used to successfully tackle drug trafficking through parcels in their home countries.
