6 TURKEY IS CHANGING Being the first and only implementer of the modernization of the land border gates based on the Build-Operate-Transfer model in Turkey and in the world, GTI is continuing its projects with the other border gates in Turkey and the world. Incorporated with only 10 people, Customs and Tourism Enterprises Co. Inc. (GTI) was established in the partnership of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey and 137 Chambers and Commodity Exchanges in Continuing modernizing border gates with its young and dynamic employees, all of whom possess visions and whose number is more than 200, GTI started its operations with modernizing of Habur Border Gate. Then, it completed the reconstruction and renovation of Cilvegözü, Sarp, Hamzabeyli, Kapıkule and Nusaybin Border Gates respectively. GTI continues its efforts at full speed for modernization operations of other border gates of Turkey. 07

7 Representative model from Turkey to the world BUILD OPERATE TRANSFER Build All the facilities at the modernized border gates, all kinds of infrastructure and upper structure applications are reconstructed with the advanced technological equipment. In other words, the whole border gate is reconstructed from top to bottom. The cost of financing this construction is met by GTI without using state sources. Operate During the operation period, operation of all kinds of commercial activities is conducted by GTI. Besides, all the operational procedures at the border gates such as maintenance, heating, cooling, lighting and cleaning are conducted by GTI and these operational expenditures are also met by GTI during this process. Transfer At the end of the operation period, the modernized facilities are transferred to public, in an operating manner, free of charge. Through Build Operate Transfer model, our land border gates are being totally renewed according to the necessities of time without placing any financial burden to public and it provides additional tax income to public as well. 09

8 LIMITLESS INVESTMENT IN THE GATES The renewal of the border gates that are our country s first contact points with the world is an indicator of integration with modern world and economic progress. GTI, with its $ 270 million investment within the scope of the modernization of border gates up to now, constructed the administrative and commercial buildings at the gates, as well as the commercial and social spaces, entrance-exit control units, searching hangars, contraband storerooms, checkpoints, weighing scales, parking lots for TIRs and equipped the gates with the latest modern technology such as X-Ray vehicle scanning, card entrance, closed circuit camera and security systems. 11

9 High Transition Speed INCREASING PRODUCTIVITY GTI, which creates extra tax income for public in addition to undertaking high financial burden of projects, contributes to the development of foreign trade as well by increasing the productivity at border gates. After the modernization of border gates, waiting periods that used to last for hours were reduced to minutes and tailbacks that used to extend for kilometers were prevented by accelerating the vehicle and passenger transition periods. We are at the service of 6 million vehicles and over 17 million passengers. New border gates, which serve ceaselessly for 24 hours, are equipped with social places that will meet all kinds of needs of transiting passengers with commercial areas such as restaurants, clothing, cosmetics, souvenir shops as well as gas stations, banks, insurance agents and duty - free shops. Setur, Petrol Ofisi, Umat are just a few of the privileged trademarks which we collaborate with at border gates. In addition, we created job opportunities for over 500 firms and over 1500 people, thanks to increasing commercial activities at border gates. 13

10 ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AT BORDER GATES The land border gates have been made more secure with the prevention of smuggling and illegal activities thanks to using advanced technology. CCTV Systems CCTV screening and digital recording systems became indispensable parts of security, protection and business applications at our border gates, which were modernized according to the latest developments in technology. Thanks to moveable and fixed cameras that can be remotely managed, it is possible to get the image of desired areas in more detail. On average, at each of our border gates, there are 35 Speed Dom moveable and 80 fixed camera whose number changes according to the size of area. Electronic Weighing Scales The weighing of the vehicles transiting through our border gates with the intention of transportation is made carefully. Weighing information such as licence plate, date and weight is recorded in a log file after being transformed into a special format in order to enable tracking, security and check. Content of all log files created at all gates is instantly processed into the database of host server and stored there for reporting and checking. Thanks to a developed algorithm, printed bills of weighing checks cannot be copied. X-Ray Devices TIRs, which make entrances into and exits from the country, are screened down to the last detail without making any physical search by means of X Rays thanks to X Ray Devices. After passing through image processing, the materials in TIRs, which are put subject to screening, are examined by educated operators and can be distinguished organically and inorganically. Thus, goods which were placed in the secret parts of the vehicle such as gold, historical artifacts, drugs, guns etc. can be detected easily. It is now easier to do physical examination of TIRs related part in case of detection of sensitive items. Licence Plate Reading System Licence plates, which are read while both entering and exiting, are sent to the border gate software, by which tracking is enabled within the area. Furthermore, the vehicles that make entrance and exits are automatically tracked. By using POS software, we aimed at detecting the vehicles which have entered into the area illicitly and preventing potential illegal activities that may happen within the area. 15

11 MODERN SILK ROAD Silk Road, which was the mother lode of trade for many years, came to the fore due to progressive expansion of Asian trade with the whole world. Revitalization of the Historical Silk Road project has gained importance in terms of land transportation. China s increasing trade volume with Europe and USA and density at harbours brought up the importance of land transportation to the current agenda once again. Though routes of Historical Silk Road that outstretch between China and Europe has recently gained importance, the progress has been insufficient as a One of these problems is the lack of modernization and standardization at the border gates along the route which will increase the speed and productivity. Decreasing waiting intervals at the borders will increase the trade on these lines and all the countries located on this commercial route will benefit from this result of unsolved infrastructure problems. richness. 17

12 INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS GTI is giving assistance to the international organizations such as UNECE and OSCE for their projects The Revitalization of the Historical Silk Road regarding the border gates. GTI has proven its leading position in its area by taking place in the preparation of Handbook of Best Practices at Border Crossings A Trade and Transport Increased efficiency and reduced waiting period after modernization and GTI s part in this process were mentioned in one article published in Security Community Journal by Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, where modernized Sarp Border Gate is cited as an example in terms of border crossing.
