The first X-ray scanner for checking transports was inaugurated on Tuesday at the Galați-Giurgiulești Customs Office
Romania will operationalize 26 such devices
8 more will be placed in the main border points: Siret
The non-reimbursable funding (from EU) amounts to 34,060,459 euros

The scanners are intended to reduce both fiscal evasion and the trafficking of drugs and dangerous substances at customs points
announced that the installation of the devices will lead to a decrease in economic crime
we focus on strengthening the fight against smuggling
The introduction of these new scanners represents a strategic move in this regard
They will revolutionize the way we check the contents of transport means
allowing us to carry out faster and more precise inspections
This technology using artificial intelligence will not only enhance our national security but also contribute to increasing efficiency in combating evasion
Once we operationalize all 26 scanners in the most important 12 border points in the country
we will cover over 85% of the flow of entries into customs," explained Finance Minister Marcel Boloș
"The use of this scanning system will contribute to increasing the level of security of the EU's external border and streamlining the customs authority's control over transport means at border crossings
The use of this system will give the Romanian Customs Authority an advantage in combating smuggling
and will also lead to reducing waiting times at border crossings," stated Marcel Mutescu
President of the Romanian Customs Authority
