The proposed amendments aim to harmonize the
law of shelters for victims of
human trafficking No 30 of 2012 with the provisions of the Human Trafficking Law
No 9 of 2009.
Merging oversight at border crossings In addition to this, the Cabinet has also approved the standardization and merging
of oversight authorities at border crossings. This means the Jordanian
Customs Department would be authorized to exercise the powers of the border control
authorities, including tasks of inspection, detection, and sampling.
The concerned oversight authorities have been instructed to standardize the
risk classification within two weeks from the issuance of this decision by
using the "red lane" for high risk and the mechanism for dealing with
it through actual inspection, sampling, or
laboratory examination.
The
"yellow lane" will be used for low risk, and they will need to audit
documents and follow it up with a post-audit and market survey. The "green
lane" will be used for "low or no risk" whereby goods will be
released and a post-audit and market survey.
