  • Andriy Yerashov — Head of the Analytical Center of the Union of Ukrainian Entrepreneurs (UUE);
  • Dmytro Oliynyk — Chairman of the Council of the Federation of Employers of Ukraine;
  • Oleg Tymkiv — Business Development Director, Moore Stevens Auditing Firm.

  • Kunio Mikuria is an international expert on customs policy, trade facilitation, and organizational leadership.

“This is an important stage in the reboot of customs, which should become an effective and transparent body operating according to European standards,” Svyridenko emphasized.

In addition, as she noted, the government approved a medium-term action plan for implementing customs reform, which is one of the key areas in the National Revenue Strategy until 2030.

“The reformed customs should establish equal rules for all economic participants and become a source of stable revenues to the state budget,” the Prime Minister concluded.

Previously, Yulia Svyridenko instructed the Minister of Finance to submit for consideration at the next government meeting a decision on the formation of a competition commission to select the head of the customs service.
