The
two East African countries, Ethiopia and Djibouti concluded an
agreement to establish a joint committee that will enhance port and
custom and customs service. The aim is to quicken transportation of
commodities to Ethiopia.
It is in the aim of cutting unnecessary procedures at customs offices and ports which is leading to congestion of goods at ports that the committee is being established.
The joint committee is going to have experts drawn from the two countries’ revenues and customs, transport, maritime and logistics services offices, Beker Shale Director of Ethiopian Revenues and Customs Authority (ERCA), explained.
The director explained other measures taken to improve the process worsen the situation. ERCA opening office at Djibouti and establishing the joint customs and border committee in order to improve service has not brought the change needed, Beker added. In fact it prohibited entering goods to Ethiopia with the desired speed and made the land locked nation incur additional costs.
The new committee will be searching ways for quick movement of Ethiopia's import and export commodities, Beker said.
Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority Manager Aboubaker Omar Hadi, on his part said the current port and customs systems contributed for the sluggish commodities movement from the ports to destination areas.
