FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ?
The activities of SCANNING SYSTEMS SA mainly consist in implementing, through Public Private Partnerships, new logistic platforms which include quality infrastructures, cutting edge equipments and high-tech computer systems. Example: the Joined Border Posts (JBP).
The BOT (Build, Operate and Transfer) is a financing system used in the implementation of a Public Private Partnership based project. It is a contract whereby the contracting authority (the States, regional organizations, etc.) entrusts a private operator with the construction, financing, operation and maintenance of infrastructures. In turn, to recover its costs, the latter receives its remuneration from the charges paid by the users. At the end of the contract, the asset is transferred to the contracting authority.
A Joint Border Post is an extraterritorial infrastructure which gathers the control services and administrations of two cross-border States in order to make inter-State exchanges easier, simple and more fluid.
The administrations of the two states, gathered on the same site, carry out the following actions:
- Joint and harmonized control operations (customs, police, immigration, phytosanitary …)
- Verification and weighing of goods
- Interconnection of customs IT systems in order to simplify and accelerate border crossing procedures
