IMPACTS1. Close cooperation between the border agencies at the
local level, particularly thanks to the local pilot teams set up in Serbia, and close cooperation with the Customs administration of the FYROM.
2. Customs has taken over the control of radiation measurement at the border from the Environmental Inspection Agency.
3. The veterinary and phytosanitary inspection agencies have taken over the control of animals and rare plants from the Environmental Inspection Agency.
