BORDER
DEVELOPMENT |
The Andean Community's
Integration and Border Development Policy was
approved in May 1999 through the adoption of
Decision 459, as an essential component for the
strengthening and consolidation of the subregional
and regional integration process.
The Andean countries made an important advance in
this area in 2001 when they adopted Decision 501,
which established the Community framework for the
creation of the Border Integration Zones (BIZs), and
Decision 502, which contains the general standards
for the establishment, operation, and application of
integrated controls at Binational Border Service
Centers (BBSC). |
