Description

From 1 May 2004, when Slovakia became an EU member state, the Slovak Customs reduced its operations in internal EU borderlines. Apart from 600 customs officers previously dismissed further 200 officers are expected to be redundant till the end of 2004. The definite figure will depend on results of an analysis of the actual need for customs services in Slovakia.
