| Summary: | The research evaluates the current EU legal framework for customs transit procedure with a view of promotion of regional integration through extension of transit procedures to EU neighbor countries. The article analyzes the formation of EU secondary legislation and its international agreements relating to introduction and application of transit procedure. Particularly, the relation of emerging of common transit procedure to the demands of Article X of GATT and early developments of TIR convention is reveled. The transition from bi-lateral to multilateral approach to extension of EU customs rules on transit is also emphasized. The typology of EU legal orders (including EU transit, Common transit, TIR transit, etc.) for application of transit procedure is reviewed with the focus at the high level of integration between such legal orders. The issue is considered as an example of Europeanization of customs law and administrative procedural law in general. Besides, the specific case of Ukrainian steps towards implementation of the Common transit procedure is analyzed. The comparative analyses of the relevant provisions of the Convention on Common Transit Procedure and the Law of Ukraine implementing such procedure shows the main gaps and possible issues that may become obstacles to successful joining the above mentioned Convention. |
