The article analyzes the main principles of security and criteria for detailing the customs interests of the state. A systematic approach is elaborated on the development of principles for the implementation of the customs interests of the state, taking into account the specifics of their asceticism. It is proposed to detail the customs interests in the context of the complementarity of ties that arise during their provision. The attention is focused on ensuring the national interests of the state in the area of specification, detailing and asecurtion of interests in the customs sphere, which directly affects the economic development of the country as a whole and the state of national security in particular. The plane of intersection of the interconnections of national economic and customs interests, determined on the basis of which the hypothesis of the multidisciplinary orientation of the latter is formed. In the relevant context, it is proposed to use an integrated approach, using a mechanisms and policies, including regulatory, foreign economic, law enforcement, fiscal, investment, for their full–fledged provision.

Developing politics and actions guided by sustainability criteria require to have elements that support decisions at the most strategic levels and facilitate the communication and justification of decisions made. To do so, indicators are simple tools aiming to facilitate high-level decisionmaking, playing the role of making complex systems understandable or perceptible. Sustainable development (SD) indicators are specifically designed to facilitate a perspective on sustainability, but sustainability is a blurred concept lacking a well based scientific theory that supports it, it is more a social and political approach that implies a transverse vision of different sectors strongly influencing each other in a complex system of mutual (and some times not well known) relations. SD indicators cannot therefore be conceived as isolated trends, unaware of the systemic vision implicit in the SD concept, being the real challenge not to identify SD indicators(there are hundreds of good lists available) but to look for the best way to put them all to work together providing a consistent and coherent vision of how regional systems are progressing towards SD objectives. This is the main objective of INSURE. Starting from any hierarchical thematic framework that is also determined by policy targets and priorities, the INSURE system indicators (S-indicators), initially designed to be applied at regional scale, aims to interpret and to understand indicators and trends in connection with the regional sustainability system behind. Its objective is to link the structured view of the policy SD priorities2 —ordered around a hierarchical thematic framework— with a systemic view that represents how the most important elements operating in the region are integrated in the regional system. This means to understand how the different trends of SD are related each others and how they influence the behaviour of the regional system in relation to policy priorities. What makes INSURE different from other SD indicators methodologies is its capacity to focus the analysis in the diagnosis of the regional system, placing particular emphasis in its systemic character, and then to transfer the richness and complexity of SD relations to a conventional hierarchical indicators thematic framework, based on a reasonable reduced number of SD trends, which is oriented by policy priorities. As a result, the data trends obtained from indicators are converted into SD trends values, which are determined not only by statistical data, but also integrating correction indices depending on how they are expected to influence other SD trends in the region.

Other written product issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "There is widespread agreement that the federal government faces a range of challenges in the 21st century that it must confront to enhance performance, ensure accountability, and position the nation for the future. Federal agencies will need the most effective human capital systems to address these challenges and succeed in their transformation efforts during a period of likely sustained budget constraints. More progress in addressing human capital challenges was made in the last 3 years than in the last 20, and significant changes in how the federal workforce is managed are underway. On April 14, 2004, GAO and the National Commission on the Public Service Implementation Initiative hosted a forum with selected executive branch officials, key stakeholders, and other experts to help advance the discussion concerning how governmentwide human capital reform should proceed."
