New regulations are set to be introduced to strengthen the financial and social security of customs officials in Azerbaijan. According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, this initiative is outlined in a decree signed by President Ilham Aliyev regarding the implementation of the law "On Amendments to the Customs Code of the Republic of Azerbaijan."
Under the decree, the Cabinet of Ministers has been given a six-month timeframe to prepare and submit proposals to the President of Azerbaijan. These proposals will define the specific amounts for additional payments, compensations, allowances, and other benefits for customs personnel, as well as establish the procedures for their allocation.
Furthermore, the government is mandated to take all necessary measures to resolve other issues arising from the legislative changes. This move is part of broader administrative reforms in Azerbaijan aimed at enhancing the efficiency, transparency, and social welfare of public sector employees, particularly within law enforcement and regulatory bodies like the State Customs Committee, which plays a critical role in the country's economic security and border management.
