Cilj dejavnosti usposabljanja BTSF o sistemu TRACES v državah članicah je digitalizirati celoten postopek certificiranja in povezane postopke ter je v skladu z izjavo Evropske digitalne agende. Cilj tečajev usposabljanja je usposobiti strokovnjake, razširiti njihovo teoretično znanje in praktične spretnosti ter doseči skupno razumevanje zakonodaje EU. Njihov namen je prispevati k boljšemu spoštovanju zakonodaje EU o živilih in krmi v državah članicah EU in tretjih državah, ki izvažajo v EU, ter povečati ozaveščenost sosednjih tretjih držav o pristopu EU k higieni živil in krme, zdravju in dobrobiti živali ter zdravju rastlin in uradnem nadzoru.
Projekt je sestavljen iz petih tečajev za skupno 16 tridnevnih usposabljanj o uporabi sistema TRACES (Trade Control And Expert System):
- Tečaj 1. Uporaba sistema TRACES pri uvozu živih živali in proizvodov živalskega izvora: 4 tridnevna usposabljanja.
- Tečaj 2. Uporaba sistema TRACES pri uvozu proizvodov rastlinskega izvora: 3 tridnevna usposabljanja.
- Tečaj 3. Uporaba sistema TRACES pri uvozu živih rastlin: 3 tridnevna usposabljanja.
- Tečaj 4. Uporaba sistema TRACES pri uvozu ekoloških proizvodov: 3 tridnevna usposabljanja.
- Tečaj 5. Uporaba sistema TRACES v trgovini z živimi živalmi znotraj EU: 3 tridnevna usposabljanja.
Specifični cilji tečaja so:
- Usposabljati osebje, vključeno v dejavnosti uradnega nadzora, da bo redno seznanjeno z uporabo sistema TRACES (Trade Control and Expert System).
- Zato bo cilj programa zagotoviti usklajeno uporabo sistema TRACES ob upoštevanju najnovejših razpoložljivih posodobitev. Ker je TRACES informacijsko orodje, ki se nenehno razvija, bo program tudi prožen in bo lahko prilagodil svojo vsebino novim prihodnjim možnostim sistema. Tako zasebnemu kot javnemu sektorju bosta koristila bolj usklajena uporaba sistema TRACES in poglobljeno poznavanje sistema s strani osebja, odgovornega za uradni nadzor: boljše sodelovanje s carino, razpoložljivi statistični podatki, zmanjšanje upravnega dela, hitrejše carinjenje pošiljke na meji itd.
Profili prosilcev bi morali upoštevati naslednja merila:
- uradniki pristojnega nacionalnega organa, ustreznih vladnih ministrstev ali inšpekcijskih služb, ki so vključeni (ali bi lahko bili vključeni) v uporabo aplikacije TRACES na naslovu:
- Tečaj 1: Mejna kontrolna točka.
- Tečaj 2: Raven določene vstopne točke.
- Tečaj 3: Inšpekcijska točka.
- Tečaj 4: Mejna kontrolna točka in določena vstopna točka.
- Tečaj 5: Raven LVE.
- Sodelovati pri pripravi ali prilagajanju politik in uredb v skladu z Uredbo (ES) št. 882/2004 in v zvezi z uporabo sistema TRACES.
- Seznanite se z načeli sheme ekološkega kmetovanja (za tečaj 4).
- Ko končajo usposabljanje, morajo biti ogroženi pri razširjanju znanja o usposabljanju.
- obvladati jezik usposabljanja (angleščino/francoščino glede na usposabljanje).
