The city of Lille has been chosen to host the future European Customs Authority (EUCA), following a competition with eight other cities. This information has been confirmed by the Cypriot presidency of the EU Council.

Lille, located in northern France, competed with cities such as Warsaw, Zagreb, Bucharest, The Hague, Liège, Porto, and Malaga. The new institution will have a staff of approximately 250 employees, tasked with coordinating the oversight of product imports in the European Union.

The European Customs Authority will simplify customs procedures, enhance the security of online trade, and provide national authorities with harmonized tools. The actual establishment of the institution is planned for next year, and its data center will be accessible from 2028.
