foreseen in the Action Plan, is still t be completed. Continued efforts are
being made to strengthen customs ethics, combat fraud and corruption, protect
copyright and industrial property rights and fight against economic and
organised crime. Continued efforts to reduce waiting times at borders are
also being made, through the construction of new border posts, and increased
use of simplified procedures. The Accession Partnership priorities in the
area of the customs union are being met. Implementation of measures under the
Action Plan is on track.
