Aiming to progressively enhance Container Security and to highlight the new Customs role in the region, a Task Force on Container Security was set up at the SECI Center in November 2005.
All SECI member countries have unanimously voiced their hopes and trust that the activity of the newest Task Force at the SECI Center can help their efforts to improve container security mainly by conducting operations. Also, expert training opportunities and technical assistance are positively viewed by the vast majority of the countries.
Region-wide operations are intended to protect containerized shipments in the regional supply chain against smuggling of weapons of mass destruction, chemical, bacteriological, radiological and nuclear materials, and all other materials which can be used for making profits by smuggling (drugs, cigarettes etc).
