Cet Accord vise à orienter, dans un monde en pleine mutation, notamment d’un point de vue technologique, l’interopérabilité entre les deux systèmes douaniers, en simplifiant, en actualisant et en rendant les procédures plus efficaces. À cette fin, le Protocole porte sur deux aspects fondamentaux : le premier concerne l’introduction, à titre expérimental, d’un système télématique pour la présentation des déclarations des devises en espèces concernant les mouvements transfrontaliers en provenance et à destination de l’État de la Cité du Vatican. L’adoption de cette technologie rendra les opérations plus rapides, plus précises et plus sûres, allégera les procédures et augmentera la transparence. Le deuxième aspect stratégique de l’Accord concerne la mise à jour continue des compétences du personnel douanier. En effet, une équipe de fonctionnaires qualifiés de l’Agence, grâce à un programme de formation spécifique, mettra à jour le personnel douanier du Vatican, en apportant son soutien à la numérisation des procédures et en partageant les meilleures pratiques déjà suivies par l’Agence des Douanes et des Monopoles.
