👩🏻‍🎓 The advanced training on risk management for Latvian customs employees was organized with the aim, “not to teach new things, ideas or working methods in the field of risk management, but to challenge experts to look at the risk analysis process from a different perspective”, to quote Elīna Cīrule.
🤝 The need for impactful cooperation with expert data analysts, and support in the development of complex risk profiles, was emphasized. Participants shared trends in air cargo control and took part in practical exercises in order to better understand approaches to risk analysis techniques in different countries.

🇱🇻 Sincerest thanks to Latvian customs for having organized and hosted these events, strengthening EU customs expertise in risk analysis, team building in this field, and paving the way to future joint work in customs risk management 🇪🇺.
