Russia and Italy Are Discussing the Creation of a 'Digital Green Corridor'

Russian Export Centre CEO Veronika Nikishina has discussed with Italian Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti the full-fledged launch of a "green corridor" that will make it possible to speed up delivery and increase trade between the two countries, the REC's website has reported.

Due to a seamless integration of information systems, the exchange of information on cargo type and its value will be digitally transmitted between the two nation's authorised organisations.

"There are both technical and legislative requirements for the operation of the respective mechanisms. The success of the project will be determined by the fulfillment of all these requirements, as well as by the creation of the necessary technical infrastructure. We look forward to the establishment of a technical group to start discussing the details of the project", Veronika Nikishina, CEO of the Russian Export Centre (REC), emphasised.

The principle of a so-called "Single Window" will be an important element for exporters, as it will be used for the exchange of information between the сustoms authorities of the two countries.
