Customs Agency employees plead with Borissov to stop their relocation to Rousse

Customs Agency employees urged Prime Minister Boyko Borissov to put an end to the hasty, unwarranted changes in the legal framework which will see the administrative unit leave the capital. They insist on a thorough financial analysis that will calculate the exact cost of moving the Agency's headquarters, as well as related expenses. Customs officials are also set on launching a discussion on the economic and social aspects of the bureaucratic reform.

In a letter to the Prime Minister, they inform Borissov what the relocation to Rousse would cost and stress that specific systems would have to be build all over again. Current staff expenses are expected to rise as some of the employees would have to travel to take part in expert panels, commissions and councils, the authors of the letter say. They underline potential hindrances to the Agency's operations that could cause problems with businesses and hinder revenue collection.

Another important consideration, the employees say, is staff expertise and the money spent on improving qualification. A significant part of people currently working for the Agency are likely to turn down the offer to relocate, causing a long-term and irreversible meltdown in administrative capacity and a consequent drop in government receivables and client service efficiency. Training the new employees to perform specific Central Customs Directorate's tasks will require fresh investments for years to come, the letter warns.
