    At the request of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers has amended the procedure for crossing the state border of Ukraine by emergency rescue units.

    As is known, Ukraine has joined the EU Civil Protection Mechanism, under which it will provide and receive assistance from Member States, if necessary.

    In order to provide (receive) assistance in eliminating the consequences of emergencies and helping the affected population, the Cabinet of Ministers has approved a decision to simplify the procedure for crossing the state border.

    According to Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Bohdan Drapyatyi, it is envisaged that customs clearance of property (goods and vehicles) in the re-import (re-export) regime will be carried out in accordance with the list certified by the State Emergency Service instead of a customs declaration. The said property shall be used without any commercial or other purposes.

    In addition, the provision on the involvement of military units of the armed forces in emergency rescue units is excluded.
