ODESA. Oct 20 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The Ukrainian Sea Ports Authority, together with private entrepreneurs, will finance the construction of a new customs terminal in Odesa, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko has said.

“Under my instructions the ports agency has concentrated the necessary funds for the construction of the terminal,” he said at a briefing in Odesa.

Head of Odesa Regional State Administration Mikheil Saakashvili said in turn that the terminal will be built in three or four months and will meet all modern requirements.

He also said that his deputy Yulia Marushevska’s lack of experience, who will head the Odesa customs, “is not a problem but an advantage.”

“Thanks God she has no professional customs education. Customs education is the formation of an exactor,” Saakashvili said.

Poroshenko previously reported that deputy head of Odesa Regional State Administration Yulia Marushevska would be appointed as head of the Odesa customs.
