Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko has directed Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko to submit a proposal for a selection committee aimed at choosing the next head of the customs service. The government is expected to review this proposal, which may lead to the establishment of a new body to oversee the appointment process.
While the details of the committee’s structure and composition have not been disclosed, the move is seen as part of broader efforts to improve the efficiency and transparency of key government departments. The customs service plays a crucial role in Ukraine’s international trade and border management, making the selection of its head a significant decision for the country’s economic and regulatory policies.
Prime Minister Svyrydenko’s directive underscores the government’s commitment to streamlining administrative processes and ensuring that leadership appointments are made through a structured and transparent mechanism. The formation of such a committee could also signal a shift towards more formalized procedures in the appointment of senior officials within the Ukrainian government.
